Dying Beauties: On Saving Romania’s National Architecture

euconedit November 3, 2022

Streets in Bucharest are lined with decaying neo-Brâncovenesc buildings. Instead of restoration, city-planners are heaping rubbish upon rubbish, building the same junk that has ruined cities from one end of Europe to the other.

Farmers Fighting the Green Revolution

Bridget Ryder July 22, 2022

For the last seventy years, agricultural policy in Europe and elsewhere has been driving efficiency and increased production, much to the detriment of societal and environmental health.

Bringing Europe’s Rural Villages Back to Life

Bridget Ryder July 18, 2022
