Following the storm that occurred from Tuesday night into Wednesday, which brought precipitation nearly equal to the multi-year average for the month of June, Bucharest was paralyzed: hundreds of homes, streets, and the metro system were flooded. Dan Bărbulescu, president of the Bucharest Natural Park Association, explains in an interview with HotNews that these effects could be prevented through adequate urban planning, but public administrations have not developed a plan to mitigate the consequences of extreme weather phenomena.
