Abstract. Following the revolution and regime change of 1989, Romania’s urban system underwent an important reshaping in a short period of time: between 1993 and 2006, in less than 15 years, 60 rural settlements were elevated to urban status.T he legal basis of this change was Act No 351/2001, which created a determined procedure and a list of indicators with precise thresholds that had to be fulfilled in order for a commune to become town. However, most of the new towns were granted urban status predominantly without fulfilling the legal requirements on different quantitative and qualitative criteria. Moreover, even the law itself has its own shortcomings, first of all regarding criteria which are inappropriate, but also in terms of the procedure of changes in the ranking of settlements.In this study, I will analyse the extent to which the legal criteria address the geographical functions of an urban settlement.

Keywords: urbanization, regime change, national spatial development plan, town declaration
