Bucharest: Weather and Much More from Answers.com (5909 words) |
 | Bucharest is situated in the south eastern corner of the Romanian Plain, in an area once covered by the VlÄsiei forest, which, after it was cleared, gave way to a fertile flatland. |
| Bucharest's history alternated periods of development and decline from the early settlements of the Antiquity and until its consolidation as capital of Romania late in the 19th century. |
| Bucharest's population experienced two phases of rapid growth, the first in the late 19th century, when the city grew in importance and size, and the second during the Communist period, when a massive urbanisation campaign was launched and many people migrated from rural areas to the capital. |
