Summary/Abstract: Regional development today is multi-dimensional, and as such it becomes a strategic problem of all countries. There are many possible solutions to the regional dilemma of sustainable development within functional implementation and establishment. However, as no solution in economic development is currently superior, it is necessary to find and select the new modalities of operationalization at the local level, where cities will have the initiative in effective regional governance that will expand and realize the development dimension. The development dimension of cities should stimulate and increasingly develop the productive activity of available production capacities and ensure their productive linking in rural areas. Work must begin with determining the content of a good public regulation, in service of launching and implementation of projects for reindustrialization of determined areas within the European macro-region, with the goal of faster and more productive employment. We have treated an example of the strategic direction for development of economy in the Danube region with the case study of the city of Bac, with emphasis on food production and processing, and the survival and promotion of traditional crafts with respect to environmental protection and improved correlation of knowledge and skills with greater support for entrepreneurship in Bac municipality. This is a complex activity on research of differences in needs, interests and results which necessitate appropriate institutional-organizational arrangements.
