Abstract: The socio-economic dynamics of small and medium-sized cities in the modern era, highlights the fact that their development and progress over time have been accompanied by many problems of socio-economic, territorial, ecological, etc., which have been intensified, or mitigated, to the extent that local public authorities have effectively monitored and administered them. Numerous development programs, plans and strategies have aimed to address these issues, most often in isolation, without relying on their ranking and prioritization in accordance with the severity of the event, or the impact on the community. Most of these actions were sporadic, being dictated by a risk factor, or conjunctural, without continuity, a report on long-term development strategies. The advantageous geographical arrangement, the proximity of important urban centers such as Chisinau (in the case of Straseni) and Brasov (in the case of Zarnesti), have greatly influenced their development trajectory, having several common features, both in terms of achievements and regarding the problems that arose in both situations. Through the present study, the author aims at an evaluation of the socio-economic and socio-demographic problems from a comparative perspective, of the way their management by A.P.L. (Local Public Authorities), as well as to propose certain solutions in the eventual diminution, or solution of them, as well as to see the “possibilities” that the two cities have and what they can offer to the population to pursue the opportunities they offer to the population. This scientific approach is part of a doctoral study "Integration of small and medium-sized cities in the regional urban system".
