Romania has recently experienced a proliferation of plans, strategies, and policies developed at all administrative levels. Adding to this, the analysis of territorial and urban development in Romania reveals important dynamics and challenges, such as uncontrolled expansion of built perimeters, increased pressures on transport infrastructure and utilities, and aggressive urban interventions causing disruptions and redundancies in the urban fabric. Such dynamics require new system architecture, including the design and implementation of new instruments, enhancing and mainstreaming existing ones, as well as building capacity. This report provides recommendations for: 1) the correlation and harmonization of different types of plans; 2) the simplification of the framework of planning in Romania; and 3) the development of a planning system that will better integrate national and European Union (EU)-funded initiatives.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONACCESSIBILITYADRAFFORDABLE HOUSINGAIRAIR QUALITYAIRPORTAIRPORTSAPARTMENTSARCHITECTARCHITECTSARCHITECTUREBUILDING CODESCARCAR USECARSCENTRAL PLANNINGCITIESCITIZENSCITY PLANNINGCLIMATE CHANGECOMMUNITIESCONGESTIONDAILY TRIPSDECISION MAKINGDESCRIPTIONDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDOCUMENTSDRIVINGDWELLINGDWELLINGSECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC DYNAMICSECONOMIC FACTORSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIES OF SCALEEMISSIONSEMPIRICAL EVIDENCEENERGY EFFICIENCYENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITSENVIRONMENTAL QUALITYENVIRONMENTSEXPENDITURESEXTERNALITIESFEMALEFINANCIAL RESOURCESFUELFUEL COSTSGREENHOUSE GASHEALTH PROBLEMSHISTORIC CORESHOMESHOSPITALSHOUSEHOLDSHOUSING DEVELOPMENTHOUSING ESTATESHOUSING MARKETSHOUSING UNITSINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINHABITANTSINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKINSTITUTIONAL REFORMINTEGRATED DEVELOPMENTINTERVENTIONSLABOR FORCELAND MANAGEMENTLAND RESOURCESLAND USELOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL BUDGETSLOCAL LEVELLOCAL OFFICIALSLOCALITIESMAYORSMETROPOLITAN TRANSPORTMOBILITYMODES OF TRANSPORTNATURAL HERITAGENEGATIVE EXTERNALITIESNEIGHBORHOODNEIGHBORHOODSPARKING FEESPENSIONERSPEOPLE WITH DISABILITIESPOLICY MAKERSPOLICY PAPERSPOLITICAL ACTORSPOLLUTIONPOPULATION DENSITIESPOPULATION DENSITYPOPULATION GROWTHPRIVATE PROPERTYPRODUCTION PROCESSESPUBLICPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONPUBLIC ENTERPRISEPUBLIC PERCEPTIONPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC RESOURCESPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC SPACESPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT NETWORKPUBLIC TRANSPORT OPERATORSPUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONPUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMPUBLIC­TRANSPORTREGIONAL DEVELOPMENTRENTSROADROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROADSROUTESRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTSEWAGESHOPSSLUMSSOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTSPATIAL PLANNINGSPRAWLSTREET LIGHTINGSUBURBAN COMMUNITYSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTRAMWAYTRANSITTRANSIT SYSTEMTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT NETWORKTRANSPORTATION NETWORKSTRANSPORTATION RESEARCHTRANSPORTATION SYSTEMTRAVEL TIMESTRUCKSTRUEURBAN AREAURBAN AREASURBAN DEVELOPMENTURBAN DWELLERSURBAN ECONOMYURBAN EXPANSIONURBAN GROWTHURBAN LANDURBAN PLANNERSURBAN PLANNINGURBAN PLANSURBAN SETTLEMENTSURBAN SOCIOLOGYURBAN SPRAWLURBAN STUDIESURBANISMUTILITIESWALKINGZONING10.1596/18693
