---> back to group page working group 18

Please add the title of your case study here, adjust the map coordinates and replace the moa image with a characteristic image of your site

Name	Izvor Park and the Dambovita Canal
Location	Bucharest
Country	Romania
Authors	Alexandru Razvan Lazarescu

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?
• Is it exemplary for a specific theme or a problem?
• In how far does it relate to your life?

Izvor Park is a 17 ha park in the middle of Bucharest and has been established as a park in the mid 90's. It sits between the Peoples Palace and the Dambovita Canal. Many would argue that this is not the most fortunate example of landscape architecture, but despite that in the last years it has become more and more popular among city dwellers. My objective is to find study the relationship between this patch of green and it's suroundings.
