Rationale: Why is this case interesting?
I have chosen Vacaresti Lake Site because it represents an enormous urban and natural surface situated in the center of Bucharest city. Moreover, it represents an outstanding example of an urban system coexisting with an ecological system formed by wildlife nature and creatures. For more than 20 years, this particular site has been neglected by the public authorities. Being underdeveloped and neglected, Vacaresti Lake has its own way of development by being conquered by nature. As a result, it hosts nowadays a great diversity of vegetation and some creatures like herons, egrets, cormorants, gulls, swans, coots, mallards, water snakes, newts, fox and muskrat, which survive in a stable ecosystem.
Author's perspective
In my opinion, this site has a great green infrastucture potential, not only because of its position inside the urban system, but also because it already has a connection with Dambovita river and it has the opportunity to be connected with Colentina Lake by converting the existing gray infrastructure into a green one.
