Mayor Florin Birta

Mayor of Oradea

27 September 2020 - present

Responsibilities:

Coordination of the entire activity of the Municipality of Oradea, as well as of the subordinated municipal structures - companies, associations, foundations, agencies established by the municipality.

After 12 years of sustained development under Mayor Ilie Bolojan, it is up to me, as mayor, to continue the development of the city, making full use of non-reimbursable European funds. Already, Oradea has implemented projects with European funding worth 1.2 billion euros.

To these, private investments attracted in industrial parks and beyond, exceeding €1 billion, must be added. We are currently running other major projects with non-reimbursable funding in all the development directions our city needs.

We owe it to the community to take all those measures that have already worked and that we know will bring development, and beyond. Moreover, we need to broaden our focus to be more attractive as a city.

In order to continue the development of the city, we need to keep the younger generation in the city, but also attract brains to the city. That is why we are determined to attract as many investments as possible to bring "made in Oradea" products out of the factory gate, such as Nokian tyres.

At the same time, we are aware of the potential of the green component, both in terms of the quality of the air we all breathe and the opportunities for conversion to a green, environmentally friendly economy.

This is why Oradea City Hall continues to invest in projects that are the pillars of the transition to an attractive city, where you enjoy living:

• with quality public spaces, characterised by pedestrianised streets and public squares, which highlight the special architecture of our city;
• with green corridors and parks in all areas of the city, within 5-10 minutes walking distance of any city dweller, ideal for leisure;
• with mobility corridors characterised by free-flowing, airy and therefore less polluting traffic;
• with an interconnected infrastructure to serve travel by non-polluting means;
• with new facilities typical of any modern city offering, such as new, generous sports facilities (multi-purpose hall, stadium, swimming pool), public gardens and modern spa gardens - all the more so as Oradea has the status of a spa resort;
• with new hospitals, emergency units and polyclinics at European level;
• with building projects for the production and use of clean energy, such as photovoltaic parks in the western part of the city and at the city's water plants, together with the use of geothermal water for heating residential blocks at neighbourhood level.
