The TerritorialAdministrative Unity of The Municipality of ClujNapoca
owns 236 unused
buildings, we propose the regeneration of some spaces from the public patrimony, facilitating
our integration in the circuit of the
creative industries
. The regeneration of the patrimony
represents an uptodate theme in the Romanian public space, a priority of the
Ministry of
Culture and the
Ministry of Public

Over 90 specialists,
representatives of the public authority, leaders of the
urbanist and architects communities from Bucharest
and all over the country have participated today (15th
of april, 2016) at
Victoria Palace to a discussion
with practical aims regarding the measures and
responsibilities of the participating actors who areable

The project aims to involve young
peoplewithvariedspecializations(arts,socialsciences,
architecture,

marketing,

journalism,

public

administration, etc.) in a
multidisciplinary approach
of
qualitative urban research
. Starting from the
premise that the social sciences have themissionofconsolidatingthe
participativedemocracy
,
with an interest in public business but also in representing and taking in consideration the
collective interests, I believe that
public anthropology has the chance of becomingafacilitator
between
citizens and the
state authorities
, especially when there is a profound lack of trust in
the
efficiency of the state authorities.
Finally, it becomes clear the fact thatthepublicinformal
opinions
represents a primary source of informationconcerningthe
quotidian, a fieldwork
that
