- Abstract : The two volumes synthesize the tendencies and approaches of the last 15 years of Romanian urban planning as seen by the most proficient Romanian urban planner, Alexandru M.Sandu, thus contributing to bridging a gap in the Romanian historical, theoretical and professional editorial research that was fractured by the Communist period. This undertaking responds to a top priority in the current professional culture that of publishing works of a highly qualitative theoretical tenure (solid theoretical synthesis, from a local perspective, on the evolution of the local or universal architectural phenomena). The artices of Professor Alexandru M. Sandu grouped in these two volumes, similar to the sequential images of a tomography, reveal and interpret the main force fields that penetrate our lifestyle as well as our physic and formal (urban/rural) frame: identity and regeneration, animation of these chains of frame-sequences, interaction with these force fields through the use of some fields of ideas, notions and concepts, invest with meaning and intelligibility the past, present and especially future urban processes/phenomena.
