On February 11, 2020 AmCham Romania members participated the private sector consultation session organized by World Bank for the Bucharest 2050 Development Strategy.

Participants shared their main challenges and proposed solutions around three development pillars, as members of the business community living and working in Bucharest: 

• Mobility infrastructure and public transport
• Public utilities and services
• Local governance.

The common message at the end of the discussions was that the local authorities should focus on continuous implementation of development strategies and put health and wellbeing at the core of all their development plans.

This consultation is part of a larger series of similar events organized by the World Bank under a technical assistance agreement signed between the General City Hall of Bucharest and the World Bank in 2019.
