It is a tabular plain, with low declivity on NW-SE direction the only major bumps are determined leading to the terrace Colentina, tablelands and anthropic relief. The Colentina Plain covers 36% of the Bucharest Municipality and it is characterized by altitudes that vary between 88.9 m in the Free Press Square and 55m at Cătelu. Field overlap Otopeni Bucharest north (northern district Colentina, Băneasa, Pipera) is characterized by altitudes of 85-90 m, by fragmentation of 0.5 km/square km relief, through a high frequency tablelands and growth of local slopes (common values of 10 degrees). The 2nd district is on the second place in terms of total area of green spaces (4,187,000 square meters) with an index of area of green space per capita of 13.6 square meters per head, but uneven distributed in the sector.
