Summary/Abstract: By its specificity, the history of urban organisms is a history of particular cases. In other words, the evolution of each city is marked by certain peculiarities in terms of the specific covered area, its architecture, its preferred development areas, the institutions that are enforced in the public space, the dominant economic sectors and, last but not least, the generating factors of the urban environment.The present article aims to approach a less well-known topic in the history of Bacău county: the territorial expansion of the city in the context of the transition from modernity to contemporaneity.This process is analyzed simultaneously with the evolution of the Romanian legislation in the administrative-territorial area from the 19th-20th centuries. From this perspective, we will observe that, at least from a demographic and territorial point of view, there are many links between the legislative strategy and the urban development.
