Urbanization in RomaniaOur group presents the economic development of Romania. My part includes four topics. These are urbanization, the manufacturing industry, the agricultural economy and the informal economy. All of these numbers increased quite quickly after the fall of communism. Although industrial production in Romania decreased significantly at first, it later increased. Regarding urbanization, there are statistics showing the annual rates of change of the urban population in Romania from the period before World War I to the present. Before World War I, the annual rate of change in urban population was 1.4 percent, and the urban population represented 17 percent of the total population. And during the period 1941-1948, the urban population decreased. This was due to the war and famines of 1946 and 1947 as well as the political and economic unrest that followed the war. And during the period 1966-1977, the annual growth rate of the urban population increased to 3.12, influenced by the administrative reform of 1968. Today, the urbanization rate is 65% and the population urban represents 52.8% of the total population. The population of the urban sector continues to increase. With the growth of the urban sector, industrial manufacturing in Romania is also changing a lot. Here is a graph of the evolution of industrial production and GDP. The blue line in the graph represents industrial production, which shows us the general situation of industrial manufacturing in Romania from 1990 to 2010 (Figure 2). We can see that industrial production decreases from 1990 to 1999 and then increases. The decline in industrial production is mainly due to the fall of communism in 1989.
