Experts of General Urban Plan of Chisinau suggest approving Regulations on historical zone of the capital Special Regulations on the historical zone of the capital would enable to attract investments for revitalising the zone, general director of “Urbanproiect” Institute, Iurie Povar, stated Wednesday, January 17, as part of the public debates on “Cultural and Historical Values” related to the General Urban Plan (GUP). GUP experts put emphasis on the protection of the central zone of the city and removal of negative effects caused by traffic jams. About 50% of the transport units that cross the city have no business in this zone, but still choose it, having no ring road that would take traffic around the edge of the city. Among the projects intended to protect and develop the city’s landscape of historical, esthetical or cultural importance, there is proposed to work out the basic historical-cultural plan and to establish the list of priorities meant to carry out certain programmes to protect, regenerate the historical and cultural patrimony, as well as to reconstruct the network of streets in the old city and rehabilitate the streets in the historical zone. Certain projects, in which the Government is involved, could subvert the concept of conserving the cultural and historical patrimony in the central zone of the city, said director of Business Consulting Institute (BCI), Mihai Roscovan. He speaks about several large districts to be built, including 30-storied blocks of flats, a fact that would entail demolishing a number of buildings of historical importance. “We will oppose as much as possible, explaining that this action is a crime against the community, we will show the advantages for which we must protect this zone”, said Roscovan. As he states, if the building of the block of flats is accepted in the centre of the capital, the zone will be seriously affected by traffic jams much more than it is at present. BCI director asserts that funds to revitalise the historical centre of the capital can be obtained from UNESCO and EU that allot millions of euros in this regard. Chisinau municipality has the most important collection of architectural monuments in Moldova, which comprises 977 protected objects, including over 700 objects of local importance and about 240 of national importance. A quarter of them are historical buildings. As Iurie Povar says, the recent reports showed that at least 10% of the monuments have disappeared due to the lack of projects designed to protect and implement them. The General Urban Plan was worked out by “Urbanproiect” consortium, Business Consulting Institute and IHS Romania. The strategic committee and experts of the GUP project organise public debates on the document from 17 to 26 January.
