The biggest images of Bucharest residents

According to the study, the greatest dissatisfaction with cost in relation to quality concerns home heating, fixed telephone and water supply:

• For 79% of the population of Bucharest, the cost of heating is a big problem;
• For 84% of the city’s population, the state of health is a great danger;
• 77% of residents blame poor air quality;

“71% of respondents believe that Bucharest is very dirty, 3% believe that the residents are to blame, 14% – that the public service workers are to blame, and 76% – both options. The results show that the main responsibility cannot be placed only on public service employees, but is largely related to the shortcomings of public education (reports from investigations among specialists were also collected, which often also mention the need to use coercive means), the research concludes.

The most representative buildings, boulevards and parks

The most representative boulevards are Magheru, Calea Victoriei and Aviatorilor, the most important public squares are University Square, Unirii Square, Palatului Square and Amzei Square, and the most representative parks are Herăstrăul and Cișmigiul. As for the buildings, the Romanian Athenaeum and the Arc de Triomphe were the most impressive.

Preferred meeting places in the central part are: Cişmigiu Park, Romanian Athenaeum, Casa Armatei, Arc de Triumf, Victoriei Square, Palatului Square, University, Creţulescu Church, Paltul Regal, CEC, Manuc Inn.

“One can also mention the observation that the main advantage of meeting people in Cişmigiu Park shows that it is also an option that derives not only from the load of aesthetic evaluation, but also from the intimacy provided by the natural environment – in a very crowded place . areas such as the center of Bucharest. The presence of a green area in front of the Romanian Athenaeum strengthens this argument, which puts this potential meeting place in second place. Many favorite meeting places are scattered along Calea Victoriei: Piaţa Victoriei, Kretsulescu Church, Royal Palace, Central Army Building, CEC. The opinion of those who claim that the city center is inappropriate for such meetings due to traffic jams in the streets cannot be ignored,” the study says.

“This concentration of landscape green space options in Herăstrău Park and its zonal proximity should be a constant challenge for green space designers in the sense of finding new solutions for the development of this existing space, as well as for the development of similar spaces in other coordinates of the urban complex of Bucharest,” says the research

For walks outside of Bucharest, favorites are: 28% Palatului Mogoşoaia Park, 21% Băneasa, 14% Snagov, 14% Cernica, 7% Pustnicu, 7% Zona de Nord – Reflection of water from the northern area, 7% Herăstrău , 2% Calderusani Monastery .

The best areas of Bucharest

According to the surveyed residents of Bucharest, Primaveri is considered the best area with quality housing, followed by Dorobanti (TV), Domeni, Floreaska, Benias and Cotroceni.

“The motivation for this option is not only the quality of housing (as was directly stated in the question), but in a complex of reasons. Thus, the arguments in favor of primacy in the hierarchy of the “Primaveriy” district are related not only to the quality and care of the buildings, but also to the optimal height regime, the ratio of built-up area and free area. , on the one hand, and between them and the corresponding green spaces, on the other hand. In addition, the location of this microdistrict in an area with a sufficient representation of green spaces determines additional arguments regarding the cleanliness of the territory, air quality, lack of pollution, and privacy,” the study says.

To the question “Which district do you not like?” the leading ones were the suburbs of Krangashi, Bercheny, Mihalache, Kolentina Militarei, Ferentari, Rahova, and Titan.
