Rationale: Why is this case interesting?
Cetatuia hill is located nearby the city center of Cluj-Napoca and it is the place where the most beautiful panorama of the city can be enjoyed in a natural settlement. When the Austrian troops left, the hill was given back to the city and became the promenade place of the citizens as well as a touristic objective for foreigners.
Even though it has a lot of history as background, a privileged location (near Somes which is the main river of the city) and is listed as one of the major attraction of the city, in the last years it has been left in a cone of shade. Existing constructions turned into abandoned places almost in ruin, more than 50% of the hill side is not even practicable (landslides, lack of alleys) and citizens have lost their interest in enjoying this piece of nature.
In the context of urban revitalization a long term GI planning for Cetatuia hill would determine the reintegration of this site into the city's scale of values and would set and example how the functional and aesthetical principles applied in the process of rehabilitating an unexploited existing site can contribute to the city's revitalization.
