The paper will focus on the typology of the urban renewal process that occurred in post-socialist Romania through the case study of Alba Iulia citadel, and directed towards the rewriting of the national narrative through the historical reconstruction of the built environment. While there was a focus in strengthening of the pre-socialist historical icons through a complete negation of the 1945 - 89 inherited built environment, some aspects of the planning and urban renewal appear in continuity with the socialist years as they were based on the “cancellation” of the “previous historic entity”.

Abstract

The paper will focus on the typology of the urban renewal process that occurred in post-socialist Romania through the case study of Alba Iulia citadel, and directed towards the rewriting of the national narrative through the historical reconstruction of the built environment. While there was a focus in strengthening of the pre-socialist historical icons through a complete negation of the 1945 - 89 inherited built environment, some aspects of the planning and urban renewal appear in continuity with the socialist years as they were based on the “cancellation” of the “previous historic entity”.
