Abstract

This paper, through qualitative research, proposed a radiography of the level of competitiveness as well as the main objectives and ways of maintaining a certain degree of competitiveness used by three capital cities located in Central and Eastern Europe. Our research consisted both in exposing the efforts of Ljubljana, Budapest, and Bucharest to increase the urban competitiveness as well as presenting the actions undertaken for their urban development for better international positioning. The research was carried out by consulting publicly available documents about the three capital cities. Although they share the fact that they are European capitals, the three cities have different competitive advantages and different challenges, so it is interesting to find out which are their main directions of development concerning available resources, what are the approaches taken by the authorities in this respect and what positions each occupies in the most recent and prestigious international rankings.
