In 2015, a compilation of 168 pages with articles from the interwar period was published in the Bucharest Planet Collection of Vremea Publishing house under the title “Between urban projections and lethargic poverty. The Bucharest of architects, sociologists, and doctors”, book edited by professor Zoltán Rostás. Zoltán Rostás is professor at the University of Bucharest and conducts research in the fields of social history and oral history. The selected articles aim at describing and improving the general state of the capital of the newly enlarged Greater Romania. The book is assembled of three parts and a total of 12 articles, which are symmetrically displaced: (a) the first four bring into the discussion the architectural outlook of Bucharest in the first part of the 20th century (and not only), (b) followed by another four which are in reference to the different social realities of interwar Bucharest’s inhabitants and (c) the last four that describe both the social services for children in Bucharest, as well as experiences of the economically challenged families of the time. This third part makes this collection valuable for social workers today. This is a collection of articles which paints the image of an interwar Bucharest as it was seen by architects, sociologists and doctors.
