| Abstract | ||
| The study represents an investigation regarding different types of response in the Romanian city in the particular case of historical urban areas – spaces that are protected at urban level but are difficult to integrate in the mechanism of the city, as well as challenging in relation to the contemporary urban requirements. The revaluation of urban heritage represents a process which brings together different areas of expertise and stakeholders in a permanent debate and dialogue. A first case study follows the process of modern and contemporary urban transformation into one of the most complex urban stratigraphy in Romania - the peninsular area of Constanta. Starting from a brief assessment of the present situation, the study. Discusses the existing interventions as well as current or potential mechanisms, strategies and local urban policies in this particular fabric. The second case study debates upon the uncertain intermediate spaces located between the old Bucharest urban fabric and the major interventions belonging to the communist regime. Eminently informal spaces due to their heterogeneous character, these areas embody the premises of experiment and innovation in the contemporary public space, in terms of the sustainability of the urban environment as well as in relation to the socio-cultural dynamics of the city. | ||
