Abstract: Throughout this work the authors are making an analysis of the evolution of industry in the urban areas and in the eight development regions of Romania. In doing it so indicators, such as: distribution of the employees according to each region and turnover in the industrial field, the spreading of the industries, the distribution of brands in industry, the coefficient of variation in the number of brands in industry, their size etc. are considered. The used methodology aims at pointing up the competitive advantages of each of the eight development regions, through the analysis of all subsectors of industry: mining, manufacturing industry, production and supply of electricity and heat, gas, hot water and air conditioning, water supply, waste management, cleaning, decontamination activities. The effect of the restructuring process within development regions is also presented here, the most affected being the mono industrial ones. The analysis leads to the conclusion that the territorial development of the Romanian industry reveals significant differences from one region to another due to the first level of accessibility, the existence of a qualified labour force and that of public services of general interest. In the past 20 years, all regions have been affected by the restructuring process of the economy, witnessing both ascending and declining evolutions in the estimated indicators.
