In the north west of the area, we find the mountains formed through hercynian orogeny, in the paleozoic era. Even though back then their altitude was above 3000 m, the *atmospheric agents* shaped them and now their altitude is around 450m. From here, navigating on the *Danube* flow, we arrive in Tulcea, also know as Danube Delta City Gate. ![sail][1] [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/1416214134257599.jpg Leaving the city, the Danube river continues the journey to Sulina where it reaches its final destination, the Black Sea. On its way there, it creates the ***Danube Delta***, which occupies two thirds of the county’s area and is also a world renown biosphere reserve, part of UNESCO heritage. Danube Delta is the main touristic attraction of the region and there are many resorts built around that ecosystem. Tourism connects people, water, capital and information flows and thus it is an important factor shaping the future development of a city. Numerous recreation, relaxation activities that make an integrant part of tourism can transform the city towards a more environmentally connected system, where people can better sense the pulse of it. Rejuvenating the city-nature relation, one can envision distributed work models, virtualized economies and other major paradigm shifts that can help people have a more meaningful relation with the environment and can change their role inside the city from merely citizens in concrete cages or alienating spaces into mediators and intelligent agents. With the shift from the national awareness to the global awareness and the progress of technology each individual now becomes a cultural agent and the multicultural setting will become an ubiquitous aspect of the city’s future progress.
