Areas in Bistrita municipality
The development of Bistrita municipality is mainly
influenced by (almost explosive) extension of areas of
individual housing. Housing was primarily built in
areas with an existing minimum urban infrastructure or
areas where building infrastructure was less
expensive.
These are connection areas between Bistrita and the
localities of Unirea and Viisoara, as well as the free
areas between the railway and the ring road (Cetatii
Street).
Direct access to at least two major communication systems
DN 17
Railway station
Another factor that influenced the development of
certain areas of the municipality was the existence of
an attractive natural landscape at a reasonable
distance from the city. These are the areas on Ghinzii
Valley and Jelnei Valley (already within the city
borders), and also a significant exterior area toward
the affiliated locality of Sigmir.
The decisive factors in the municipality’s development
were economic in nature, while the favouring factors
were the existence of available surfaces at reasonable
distances from the city, suitable for construction, an
attractive natural landscape and aspirations towards a
system of housing more comfortable than collective
ones.
The development of Bistrita municipality after 1990
was not the same as in all the member localities.
Bistrita city emphasised its central role within the
administrative territory, from which the neighbouring
localities benefited: Unirea, Viisoara and Sigmir.
• The industrial and deposit area
The industrial and deposit area stretches over an
overall surface of 284.0 ha, of which 243.2 ha are
located in the city and organised into industrial
platforms of a total 199.5 ha, as follows:
- western industrial platform: 146.6 ha
- eastern industrial platform: 32.0 ha
- southern industrial platform: 20.9 ha
The surfaces related to the production units situated in
the housing areas also add to these spaces.
• The agro-zootechnical area
The agro-zootechnical area has an overall surface
area of 34.6 ha, of which 20.7 ha are in the city. This
area is continually decreasing as the big agrozootechnical
platforms change their profiles to
production activities.
• The residential area
The residential area is developing in semicircular form
around the historical centre, like an amphitheatre
opening towards Bistritei Valley and has a total
surface area of 878.1 ha, representing 38.9% of the
