creator: Sova Dana
description: This thesis analyzes the current development processes in the peri-urban areas of Bucharest with an emphasis on the building identity process. As the peri-urban environment of BMA can be characterized as a highly dynamic and unstable, the evolution of the local communities became dependent on the changes in the built environment. This research focuses on the fact that throughout all these changes, the identities of places have shifted or have disappeared completely and are unable to be reconstructed in some locations. The first ring of peri-urban areas are presented, with examples of processes of building identity and with initiatives of the local communities which start to express the desire of being involved in the decision-making process. The findings of this study show the importance of a shift in the traditional top-down planning system towards a more communicative approach, by involving the local communities and by supporting processes of building identity.
