Bucharest, Romania’s capital, lies at the core of the Bucharest Metropolitan Area, which includes the city and surrounding communes in Ilfov County. The Bucharest Metropolitan Area Intercommunity Development Association was established in 2008 as a formal partnership between Bucharest Mayor’s Office and the Ilfov County Council, to enhance metropolitan planning and service delivery across the metropolitan area.
Bucharest has made strides in public transport and healthcare access. Rapid transit coverage reaches 44% of the population of the urban area, well above the regional average. Healthcare access is also robust, with 87% of residents living within walking distance of healthcare facilities, surpassing both regional and global averages. These indicators reflect Bucharest’s focus on improving infrastructure and public services for its residents.
