Rivers were always an important factor in the evolution ofcities. From ancient times, rivers were used in cities forirrigation, transportation, leisure and other activities. In the lastcouple of decades, urbanism paid special attention to therelationship between the river and the city.Bucharest makes no difference. The first settlement here wascreated along Dambovita, the only river of the city. During theyears, Dambovita faced different changes. Each historical periodinfluenced in a different way the image and the functionality ofthe river. Nowadays, as a result of the communist period, theriver is deeply disconnected from the city, being polluted andforgotten by the inhabitants.The main goal of the project is to reestablish the relationbetween the river and the city. By facilitating the transport onwater, redesigning the waterfronts and creating approachablelandscapes on both sides of the river the project allows the riverto extend into the city. The car-oriented fast-traffic roads onboth sides of the river are being transformed into pedestrianareas and bike lanes and green corridors are designed on bothsides.Furthermore, two focus areas were specifically chosen torepresent the new image of the city. These neighborhoods aredesigned in close connection to the river, facilitating watertransport and the appropriation of the inhabitant to the bluestructure. The design takes into account three main structuresin the city: The Blue Structure, The Green Structure and theSocial Structure, including these three layers at all scales.
