Unfortunately no , or at least as much as i know ... The problem with the density of cars is one of the biggest problems we have right now in Romania , Bucharest !!!
Unfortunately ( again ) , only Bucharest among all bigest cities ( towns ) is the most developed , all the others are really left behind in infrastructure and investments . Yes there are a few cities in the west of the Country but you can't really compare them with Bucharest . So , we can't really speak of a competition at this level ( only think that Bucharest has more than 2,5 mil habitans and the rest of the cities have most 300 k ! ) Bucharest is one of the biggest metropolitan area , social and economic , not only in Romania , but in EU itself , but that's really all that Romania can give at this moment ....



You are talking about a lot of things, and you are 100 % right ! I am amazed of how much history of Romania you know , especially about Ceausescu. Yes he made a lot of bad things , and yes he made a lot of good things too . Unfortunately because of the tranizition we've been in the past 17 years ( and still are ) WE ONLY LEFT WITH THE THINGS HE DID !!!!!! As of this moment ( 2007 ) i think we can call it a REBUILD of our nation . But only TIME WILL TELL!! ( a favourite quote from RED ALERT 1 - Einstein )

We need a lot of investments in motorways ( or highways as americans use to say ) , you're not saying something new, there are a lot of projects in development and their deadline will be close to 2012 ( Bucharest - Constanta ) and 2015 ( Bucahrest - Brasov ) so .... maybe there is a little hope for our country too , we'll see !

On the other hand at this moment WE ONLY HAVE A MOTORWAY , and this motorway has been build 18 years ago by ... yes, you guessed - CEAUSESCU !!!



I didn't quite understand all of this quote , maybe you can be more precise please .

Quote:
To get high speed of development, high saving rate and investment rate is a key. In review of all countries with high economic development rate, almost all of them have high saving rate. So spending a lot of money to buy BMW might not be a good idea.

And funny, i've just received on my email a powerpoint presentation about a city ( or town ) called MACAO. If you want give me your email address so i can forward it , i think you'll love it as much as i did !
