SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL DYNAMICS PROJECTION OF INDUSTRIAL LANDSCAPE IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL STATE. CASE STUDY: 3RD DISTRICT OF BUCHAREST
Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2013, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
After the fall of the communist regimes in 1989, East and Central Europe cities went through a period of economic and political transition, reflected in the urban landscape through destructuring, abandonment or conversion of the industrial units into large commercial, residential, services or mixed-used developments. In Bucharest, as a consequence of the state-sustained and designed industrialization process from 1945-1989 and the changes recorded after 1989, the urban landscape shows an accelerated, functional and aesthetic dynamics with implications for the environment. The study assesses the industrial landscape evolution over time and space in 3rd District of Bucharest, considered a study case representative for the whole city, using available maps, historical materials, GIS and observation sheets and the changes occurred after 1989 in the urban environment due to the change and fragmentation of the industrial landscape. Significant trends in conversion or the patrimonialization of the industrial units were identified. The research revealed that 3rd District, a heavily industrialized area before 1989, still has important remnant industrial traits and features with important consequences on the environment. 1989 brought significant changes in the organization, function and spatial distribution of the industrial areas, most of them today in relocation, deindustrialization and conversion stages. In these conditions, there is a manifest need to reshape the components of the urban space in order to reduce the effects of new threats to the inhabitans’ quality of life and vital infrastructure within the city and its urban periphery.
