| Summary: | Given the functions of capital and economic metropolis fulfilled by Bucharest, the
capital acts as key node in urban networks. The effects of the economic restructuring process
the capital city has initiated after 1990 are nowadays felt at the metropolitan scale by way of
the reorganization of the functional zones with the purpose of increasing performance and
efficiency. Therefore, the profile of economic change that arises across the territory are
perceptible inside some extremely specialized and widely dispersed spaces: the industrial and
technology parks, the logistics and distribution parks in urban areas and close to the transport
routes or to airports, the residential areas typically developed in the Northern part of the
capital, and the office spaces that abandon premises inside the cities in favor of accessible
premises beyond the city outskirts. The importance of Bucharest for national economy is
evaluated in the study, which concludes that capital is the main engine of development not
only for its metropolitan area, but also nationwide. |
