The present day world crisis characterizes itself by the fact that in spite of the accurate perception of its dimensions and implications, the true solutions fail to surface. Whereas in the recent past only technology and industry focused the attention through their dynamic and the part played in the economic development, time and space - revised in our time's spirit - offer another matrix, where a leading position is given to creativity and knowledge, which are considered to be more important factors than capital, labor and raw materials. A delicate issue is that technology, information, markets are global, but people are local! The space of flows (global) is in interaction with the space of places (local) and the cities gain an increasingly dual (local-global) function. Understanding and working in these conditions and in respect to is a real and difficult challenge for all administrative structures. Strictly applying the enforced regulations, even if it is a mandatory act (like all rules of public law), not everything is limited to it: modeling urban spaces and adapting to the general dynamics requires more than a blind compliance, meaningless to the fine perception of the phenomena that occur in this area; it requires a good understanding of what "urban body" means.

One of the most important things that influence people's happiness is the strength of their relationship with others: feeling close to and valued by others is a fundamental human need and the strength of our communities also depends on the connections and relations that people have within them. Appearing and evolving along with human communities, public spaces were the scene of many manifestations of the community, a place of conviviality, of spirituality -- in all its forms -- a religious, administrative and legal landmark. Urban public spaces are those where all the processes related to peoples existence take place and, especially, peoples' cohabitation. These places are a reflection of the social structure, of the level of development and computer technology, not a flat, clean and shiny surface. The changing face of cities starts as well from the public space. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cadastre and real estate advertising are two well shaped fields, which define and condition each other, forming an integrated system of property records and legal documents related thereto. Through this system, specific data is meant to be collected and various objective information is provided, regarding the buildings and land in general. Their purpose is serving the state and the holders of rights, in order to defend and guarantee real rights (essentially, property), as well as the establishment of fair taxes. Any modern state with a democratic regime, in a world with a modern economy cannot be perceived as such without an effective system of cadastre and real estate advertising, system which became, through its important functions, mandatory.

En Roumanie, on a récemment adopté quelques réglementations par lesquelles - en instituant des impôts/des taxes sur les auto (provenant d'autres Etats) pour la première immatriculation dans notre pays - on a violé les prévoyances expresses du Traité de l'Union Européenne qui interdisent toute discrimination (avantage ou restriction/ embarras) en ce qui concerne la libre circulation des marchandises dans l'espace communautaire. Il s'agit des dispositions de l'art. 214-214 du Code fiscal1 concernant la taxe spéciale pour les automobiles et auto véhicules2, enlevées ultérieurement (en 2008) et remplacées par celles introduites par l'Ordonnance d'Urgence du Gouvernement no 50/2008 concernant l'institution de la taxe de pollution (toutes ces prévoyances légales étant évoquées et invoquées sous la dénomination générique de "taxes auto"). A la suite de la mise en application de ces dispositions légales, la Commission Européenne a attentionné, notifié et puis menacé le Gouvernement de la Roumanie avec le déclenchement de la "procédure d'infrigement" au cas où l'on n'enlèvera pas - dans un délai raisonnable - la discrimination instituée par la loi roumaine. Mécontentes par l'introduction dans le paysage fiscal roumain d'un nouvel impôt (assez accablant) et encouragées - en même temps - par la prise de position de la Commission Européenne envers notre pays à cette raison, de nombreuses personnes physiques et juridiques ont attaqué en instance - par différentes formes, par différentes causes juridiques - la prétention et la perception des impôts /des taxes auto, en sollicitant et en obtenant la restitution des sommes acquittées pour l'immatriculation des auto véhicules acquises sur le territoire des autres Etats communautaires, en invoquant - principalement - la violation par l'Etat roumain des réglementations communautaires primaires (spécialement, l'article no 90 du Traité de l'Union Européenne). Les instances judiciaires de Roumanie - tenant compte des dispositions de l'art. 148, al. 2 de la Constitution revue (qui statuent que les prévoyances des traités constitutifs de l'Union Européenne ont la priorité par rapport aux dispositions contraires des lois internes) et des prévoyances de l'art. 90 du Traité de l'Union Européenne - ont apprécié que les taxes légales par lesquelles ont a institué les impôts / les taxes auto ne peuvent pas être appliquées car elles contreviennent aux normes communautaires et, par conséquence, elles ont admis les demandes par lesquels elles ont été saisies et ont disposé la restitution du budget de l'Etat des sommes encaissées de manière illégale.… [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the main purposes of cities and towns is to create decent places for people to live, and if these not exist or are not affordable, the urban system is bound to suffer. Communities must satisfy not only the claims of their citizens or other groups such as public interest defenders, business community in the area, services and products companies that work for community etc.; in the process of decision making it is necessary to know the expectancies and preoccupations of the different interested parties as well as to determine whether and how they will have any influence in strategic decisions on the long run. These issues generate new aspects in the large field of urban regulations and urban law. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
