Rationale: Why is this case interesting?
Please give a short introduction to the site you have selected (not more than 150 words)
- Why did you select it?
I choose this site because of it's structure, evolution and particularity that no other lake from Bucharest and also from Europe has. The "Vacaresti Lake" with a 190 ha surface, is situated in south-east of Bucharest, almost 5 km far away from the city center. It is an artificial lake with a very interesting history, which in the past the entire place was on the government attention and now after 20 years it's is only a neglected space with an incredible ecosystem looking like a delta.
- Is it exemplary for a specific theme or a problem?
This lake it is exemplary for many reasons because it has an incredible potential for being part of our environment. The site it is surrounded by a dike that protects the flora and fauna of auditory and noxious pollution generated by streets. Here are a lot of different areas of willow, small ponds, swamplands, concrete, delta, mud, trees and other Natura 2000 species of plants, European protected spices of animals, like red duck, white hen, turtles, amphibians, reptiles (snakes, different species of lizards) and many other species of birds. Marshes are rich in insects, earthworms, leeches, mollusks. Bucharest is now below 7 square meter/person, not 26, as European regulations provide, while the World Health Organization recommends 50. If this land would become an urban reserve, Bucharest would win every square meter of the wild.
- In how far does it relate to your life?
Author's perspective
From which professional background/perspective are your documenting this case?
Landscape and/or urban context of your case
- Biogeography, cultural features, overall character, history and dynamics
- Illustration: Map; sketches; short descriptive analyses
Analytical drawings
Please add four analytical sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) of your case and take the following aspects into account:
- natural dynamic versus cultural framework - in how far do these two forces come together in your case?
- dynamic through the year (you may imagine how the site looks in spring and summer, maybe you also remember it)
- highlight potentials and problems

Projective drawings
- Please add four projective sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) for your case and take the following aspects into account:
- How would you like this case to change in the near future? (in 1-2 years)
- And how could it look like in 10-15 years?
