Developing cities and human settlements so that they are open to all, safe, resilient and sustainable

​

In Romania, the contribution of the urban population increased to 55% (2016) from 34% (1960). This contribution is growing, so it is a necessity for cities to adapt to this situation. Cities must be open to all, safe, resilient and sustainable. In addition, cities need to combat alienation. We must also take into account the rural communities and ensure the conditions for a dignified life for the citizens, regardless of the environment they choose.
