Urbanization Growth in Romania from 1990 to 2023

Romania’s urbanization shifted slightly, beginning at 53.2% in 1990 and reaching 54.7% in 2023. Post-1990s, Romania experienced a stable but modest urbanization trend, reflecting economic transitions and migration patterns within the European Union. While urbanization slowed in the 2000s, economic stability and EU membership contributed to gradual increases in urban living post-2015. Urbanization remained steady around 54%, showing slight growth in the 2020s. Romania’s emphasis on infrastructure development and improved urban living conditions likely supported this slight increase, culminating in an urbanization rate of 54.7% by 2023.
