Piața Revoluției din București, fără parcare: 12 locuri transformate în spațiu pietonal

A public space experiment called "Grădina Întâlnirilor" transformed part of Bucharest's Revolution Square into a pedestrian area for a week. The initiative aimed to test new uses for the square, replacing parking spots with seating and greenery. Organizers monitored pedestrian traffic and public reactions, emphasizing the need for a space for community engagement rather than festivals. The project aligns with ongoing discussions about the square's future, with previous consultations showing strong public support for pedestrianization. The event also included historical exhibitions related to the 1989 Revolution, highlighting the square's significance. Local officials see potential for Bucharest to become a creative hub, balancing large events with community-focused cultural offerings.
