Summary/Abstract: This study is an review of urban planning in Bucharest today. The research, based on the consultation of a large number of publicly available documents, led us to the conclusion that the reality in which we live is the result of an incoherent, unsustainable and uneven development process, lacking a clear long-term vision, not sufficiently focused on increasing the quality of life of the population, being rather based on a competition of several economic, social, cultural, historical, natural and built environment factors. All this has led to a series of territorial disparities that have resulted in unbalanced and inequitable development of the technical and socio-economic infrastructure, compromised natural resources and land reserves, as well as major functional and landscape discrepancies in the country's capital. Following this analysis, we are able to express our views on the necessary and possible actions to solve the major problems related to urban planning of the city in which we live.
