Abstract

The industrialization and especially the deindustrialization, have an impact on the current urban landscape, through the process of dismantling some industrial giants and the destruction or abandonment of those areas of land on which they once operated. The effects of these phenomena are fully felt in România and unfortunately there is still no well-established, professional plan for urban regeneration. The process of urban regeneration represents the adaptation to the present by rethinking the respective spaces in order to change their functions and aesthetics, considering that they have become unused spaces and even avoided by the population. Urban regeneration increases the quality of life and living conditions of areas adjacent to derelict sites and their reintegration into the urban environment, they generally become public spaces for leisure, entertainment, sports and why not, an oasis of greenery, created through proposed vegetation. Brașov is an example of a city with potential, but it lacks, for now, the official initiative and precisely because of this a plan is proposed to transform the former Hidromecanica industrial site into a place of aesthetic and functional relaxation, especially since the city of Brașov is a tourist town and the site is in its center.
