Abstract: | Bacau County is rich in mineral resources but is polluted, by a historic pollution due to mining and manufacturing industry; over the last years it was increased by heavy road traffic and the spatial, not rigorously planned, expansion of cities. The paper presents the ecological state of the county’s cities, an evaluation carried out in the first phase of the research-project “Research on a systemic approach of sustainable development at administrative-territorial level” and based on the proposals concerning ecological reconstruction, namely: increasing urban metabolism through recycling and re-use of domestic waste, reducing air, water soil and phonic pollution, an integrated management of natural and antropic risks on the whole territory of the county. |
