An uncertain future: prospects for Bucharest’s large housing estates
Abstract This article aims to review some of the main features of the large housing estates (LHEs) in Bucharest and to reveal the main challenges to future planning for those areas. We show how the management of the buildings has evolved since the massive and almost complete privatization of the early 1990s. We also address the land use regulation for public and common spaces. While investigating how public facilities are managed within LHEs and reviewing the quality of the buildings in those areas today, we also highlight the fact that some of the problems that we have identified are innate. Moving from the larger picture to details, we weigh the problems that define the real scale of LHEs and might help us to draw a meaningful comparison with similar situations in other former communist countries. Finally, we aim to bring together extant policies and ones that are yet to be worked out by connecting the major determinants that constitute the legacy of the past with the uncertainties of the future.
