Abstract: Connectivity at the level of basic services within a city is the basis for adopting an investment strategy, both at the level of public administration and in the private environment. In addition, based on the concept of connectivity to citizens' basic needs, individuals can make decisions about purchasing a home. Therefore, the paper aims to analyse Bucharest, at the level of the 6 administrative sectors, from the perspective of connectivity to basic services (health, education, culture, etc.). In order to achieve this objective, with the help of GIS technology, relevant data will be extracted on residential buildings, transport infrastructure, and variables characterizing basic services at city level, for all 6 sectors of the capital. At the level of the 6 sectors of the capital there are structural differences in terms of access to basic services, especially as a result of the expansionary residential trend in the peripheries of the 6 sectors of Bucharest.
