The guidelines for the Bucharest new urban planA debate between the strongest at that moment planning team took place
in the scientific journals in 1929 when C. Sfințescu and T. Rădulescu exposed
their different views on a Bucharest urban plan. T. Rădulescu^17 published two
comprehensive articles that were to become the guiding path when realizing
the Bucharest Guiding Urban Plan 1935. Those brought up a very clear and
innovative approach, quite different from the general debate in that time.
Some novelties comprised in T. Rădulescu’s early guidelines for a new urban
plan were:
- the invitation to a certain caution when proposing great urban
projects; - the split of the zoning plan in a layer defining the building types
and a different layer defining the functional areas of the city, thus
enabling a more accurate view and allowing a certain flexibility in
the city’s structure;
