Probably the most unjust mayor of Bucharest. Al. Donescu, the man who did a lot for the modernization of the city and died in Jilava
The legendary interwar Bucharest, the period from the two world wars in which the Capital experienced an unprecedented development, civilization and modernization, is closely linked to a man about whom little is spoken and known: the mayor Alexandru G. Donescu.
These are the years in which elegant boulevards, modern infrastructure, high-rise blocks (block houses) and new neighborhoods appeared in the city, modernist architecture, the clean-up of the Colentina lakes, a zest for life in the newly established “King Carol II” Park (Herăstrău).
Mayor Al contributed a lot to this modern and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Donescu.
Read, on B365.ro, about the man who did so much for Bucharest, the city where there is not even an entrance, let alone a street, to bear his name, whose tragic end we do not really know and whose grave is unknown.
