Indicators of Regional Development Case Study: Bucharest-Ilfov Region

The new territorial identities and global dynamics have determined a change of policies of economics, social and cultural development, from a vertical to a horizontal approach, which is based on cooperation networks between institutional actors, economic operators or civil society representatives. The European integration has not only generated different patterns of competitiveness, economic growth, concentration of attractive potential, but also disparities among regions of this country, or even in the countryside within a region. To a better understanding of the dynamics of regional development and the impact of this concept on Romania, it is relevant to choose as a case study the region Bucharest-Ilfov, which is analyzed on the basis of predetermined indicators and the impact of European financing programs.
