Bucharest, the capital of Romania, is situated in the Romanian Plain and is being drained by Dambovita and Colentina Rivers. During the last 150 years, the natural landscape has been intensely modified by its inhabitants. The most prominent change has been made in the Dambovita floodplain, where the natural land features have been completely changed. The present paper aims to highlight the major geomorphological changes that Bucharest suffered over the last 150 years. The major human intervention was the improvement of Dambovita channel and the demolition and/or the construction of different buildings during the communist period. Besides the human induced geomorphological changes, there is also soil creeping as a natural geomorphological phenomenon that shapes the landscapes of Bucharest.
