Danubian cities as a research laboratory      https://lcdi.uauim.ro/        https://lcdi.uauim.ro/en/danubian-smcs

We are part of the first PHD research laboratory related to the Danube developed by UAUIM

prof. Angelica STAN, the Doctoral School Director said ”More often than not, these small and medium-sized cities are the bearers of strong urban character, but benefit less from a well-defined spatial-cultural position, and have fewer cultural and economic opportunities than nearby larger cities. The limited development possibilities of urban areas with peripheral positions in relation to the centres along the Danube make the sustainability of the region quite a challenge for researchers and planners. In smaller cities, cultural heritage elements can only contribute to socio-economic development if they are well understood and managed.”
