Regenerarea urbană şi patrimoniul istoric - situaţia României
Urban regeneration and historic heritage - the Romanian case

Summary/Abstract: The heritage, resource and opportunity for urban regeneration, underlines the identity of an urban area not only through the quality of its building places, but also, culturally, by its existing state, the dynamic between these and the public spaces pointing towards the environmental developing quality. The immovable cultural heritage (monuments, architectural ensembles, structures, archeological sites) is the reflection of a society’s historical time, hence winning the prevalent role in the urban planning specialists’ preoccupation. Yet, urbanization, rushed by external factors (e.g.: the economy), might become the reason for an ideological decay, concerning the protection of the built heritage and the integration of the new architectural trends in the given space. The innovation and advantages of the technological development, along with the economic opportunities, have been calibrating the way in which the development policies and the solutions for urban regeneration are given, this way finding long-term solutions for the heritage or for the historical areas, when necessary. This article offers a better understanding of the heritage and the historical urban landscape, of the interventions made in the urban regeneration of these areas, by reffering to the evolution of the urban regeneration concept and presenting the Romanian situation through relevant available examples.
