| description |
By European standards, Romania is a low
urbanized country. There exists a rising trend towards
suburbanization, however, that is not fully captured by
Romania’s urban statistics. The country’s urbanization rate
of 55 percent has remained fairly constant over the past two
decades, despite significant population migration out of the
country, and a strong suburbanization trend in areas on the
immediate outskirts of major cities. Because central
government demographers still categorize some of these
regions outside of the urban core as rural, this shift has
not yet made its way into the official population
statistics. If this were to happen, the urbanization rate
could rise to 65 percent. The objective of the urban sector
analysis was to provide insights to the Romanian Ministry of
Environment, Waters and Forests (MEWF) on opportunities to
change the trajectory of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in
Romanian cities, using the Bucharest–Ilfov metropolitan
region (BIMR) as an example. |
