Foarte bucuros cฤ aceastฤ carte a fost publicatฤ ศi lansatฤ la sfรฎrศitul lui 2025, ca un prim rezultat al proiectului Towns | New New Towns New Narratives, la care am contribuit la editare ศi conศinut, รฎmpreunฤ cu o echipฤ minunatฤ ศi pasionatฤ de moศtenirea ศi viitorul Oraศelor Noi. Ne-am bucurat de contribuศii extrem de diverse, atรฎt din punct de vedere regional โ din toate colศurile Europei โ, cรฎt ศi disciplinar โ de la istorici de arhitecturฤ, cercetฤtori, arhitecศi ศi urbaniศti la artiศti, curatori, manageri culturali ศi funcศionari publici.

รn secolul al XX-lea, รฎn Europa au fost construite peste 200 de aศa-numite Oraศe Noi. De obicei, acestea sรฎnt considerate oraศe fฤrฤ istorie ศi identitate, รฎn care locuitorii doar trฤiesc, fฤrฤ a se simศi aparศinรฎnd acelui loc. รnsฤ, dupฤ mai bine de jumฤtate de secol, aceste oraศe au existat suficient de mult timp pentru a-ศi construi o istorie complexฤ, deศi aceasta este adesea necunoscutฤ atรฎt pentru strฤini, cรฎt ศi pentru locuitori.๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
Unele dintre aceste oraศe au fost construite ca oraศe nucleare sau gฤzduiau muncitorii din portul sau industria minierฤ din apropiere. Unele erau proiecte emblematice รฎn confruntarea din timpul Rฤzboiului Rece dintre Europa de Est ศi Europa de Vest. Altele gฤzduiau surplusul de populaศie din marile metropole. Multe dintre ele au รฎndeplinit promisiunea locuirii ca un drept, mai degrabฤ decรฎt ca merit economic, oferind infrastructurฤ echitabilฤ pentru viaศa colectivฤ. รn ultimii doi ani, oraศele noi din toatฤ Europa au รฎncercat sฤ-ศi identifice povestea prin proiectul ๐๐๐ฐ ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ง๐ฌ | ๐๐๐ฐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ฌ.๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
รn toate aceste oraศe noi s-au dezvoltat forme particulare de viaศฤ colectivฤ ศi creativitate individualฤ, adesea รฎn spaศiile lฤsate libere de instituศiile oficiale. โPovestireaโ acestor oraศe ศi a tuturor locuitorilor lor oferฤ o bazฤ pentru gฤsirea identitฤศii lor ศi pentru reinventarea lor รฎntr-un mod pozitiv. De la expoziศii istorice la expoziศii de artฤ, de la festivaluri la plimbฤri ศi tururi, de la noi spaศii colective la proiecte de cercetare, exemplele din aceastฤ publicaศie aratฤ numeroasele noi eforturi depuse รฎn oraศele noi europene โ de la Marea Britanie la Bulgaria โ pentru a schimba percepศia asupra acestor oraศe neglijate.

I am very happy that this book was published and launched at the end of 2025, as a first result of the Towns | New New Towns New Narratives project, to which I contributed in terms of editing and content, together with a wonderful team passionate about the legacy and the future of New Towns. We enjoyed extremely diverse contributions, both regionally - from all corners of Europe - and disciplinary - ranging from architectural historians, researchers, architects, and urban planners to artists, curators, cultural managers, and public officials.

More than 200 so called New Towns have been built in Europe in the twentieth Century. Usually, they are seen as cities without history and identity, where residents merely reside, without belonging. But after more than half a Century, these cities have existed long enough to build up a layered history, though it is often unknown to both outsiders and residents.๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
Some of these cities were built as nuclear cities or they housed the workers in the nearby harbour or mining industry. Some were flagship projects in the Cold war stand-off between Eastern and Western Europe. Others housed the overflow of people in big metropolises. While many fulfilled the promise of public housing as a right, rather than an economic merit, providing equitable infrastructure for living together. In the past two years New Towns from all over Europe tried to identify their story through the project ๐๐๐ฐ ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ง๐ฌ | ๐๐๐ฐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ฌ.๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
In all of these New Towns, particular forms of collective life and individual creativity developed, often in the cracks left by the official institutions. โTelling the Storyโ of these cities and all its residents gives a basis to finding their identity and to reinvent themselves positively. From historic to art exhibitions, from festivals to walks and tours, from new collective spaces to research projects, the examples in this publication show the many new endeavours in European New Towns -from the UK to Bulgaria- to change the perception of these neglected cities.
