URBAN DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES: BAIA MARE CITY CASE.

Abstract

Cluster development is today an option for many economic structures, given its valences of integrating complementary activities and services into a coherent framework. More recently emerging in economic theory and practice, urban clusters aim at integrated urban development. The article presents a proposal to apply the new economic development model by setting up regional clusters between county residences in order to develop them by linking and completing governmental and non-governmental institutions, research-development centers and companies in order to attract European funds and implicitly to get out of the economic latency state. We used the Baia Mare case for this purpose.
