Abstract: (ENG) The modernization of Bucharest was a complex and dynamic historical process, spanning roughly the interval between 1848-1948, a period when the process of modernization of the Romanian society in its totality revolved around the town of Bucharest and, implicitly, its varied ethnicity. Interesting, complex and dynamic. Interesting in the way the modernization process unfolded – namely with the help of a diversified foreign population; complex due to the means the modernization process assimilated in order to be achieved; dynamic given the relatively short time it took for the distinct traits of European modernism to melt into the Romanian society in general, and that of Bucharest in particular.
