Bucharest has a rich architectural heritage. Buildings like the Palace Athenée are of neo-classical beauty. The own architecture of the beginning of the 20th century is rustic and appealing, used in villas of the 1920s and public buildings of the 30s.
Ceaucescu's regime introduced megalomanic planning and reinforced concrete.
The last two decades have seen a wildgrowth of eglectic styles without coordination, planning and often without taste.
To this picture is added a general disregard, even disrespect for public places. This combination leads to a city that leaves a dirty, ununderstandable impression.
