Master final thesis Bucharest Metropolitan Area
36 568 HA In order to identify the peri-urban landscape’s dominant features, a relevant research area was chosen- namely the area located in the northern part of Bucharest between the DN1 highway in West , the Vlăsia- Cociovaliştea mainstream in the North, DN2 at the East and the city’s administrative border in the South. For a better understanding of the component elements, the site in matter has been divided into three areas as a result of the identification of three different but complementary characters: 1. The 1st area- ”the multifunctional suburbia” with prominent urban character 2. The 2nd area- “ Valea Mostiştei “ agricultural park, which represents a semi-rural character 3. The 3rd area- rural area with national heritage elements The strategy for the site’s development over the last 20 years has the purpose of creating a complementary identity for each of the three areas and their relations through a green network and the connection with the city and Snagov- Căldăruşani and Valea Mostiştei area in the South in the future.

The aim was to use some sustanable concepts in order to awake people interest for this green area and which could involve the local community in its maintenance and development. Thematical gardens inside the park are illustrating the three stances of nature which contributed to the concept: - experimental nature- in the research area of wetland habbitats and greenhouses - picturesque nature- flower beds, rockery, visual connections ( thematical paths) - productive nature- small community plots with vegetables, fruits and flowers with educational purpose All those new elements are designed to be integrated into the existing park and to connect the sportive areas from the main entrance with the stadium area in the purpose of creating a multifunctional park for the city.
