Behind the Vitosha is next mountain, the highest in Bulgaria (Rila mountain 2925 m). Approximately between two mountains are a few classic systems, dams, power plants, water-mains and wastewater treatment plants supplying the city with water. The electricity generated is not as great compared to the scale of the city. It may say that there are mainly water stocks of the city. Vitosha mountain is natural park, in this sense, is prohibited felling of trees. In connection with the proximity of the city, the movement of cars in the mountain is very seriously limited. These forests may be considered as a stock for clear air for the city. Urban mobility The first radius of the Sofia underground connecting downtown with one of the suburbs had been put into operation in 2000. In the moment operate two diameters with few deviations. Will soon (2015) begin construction of a third diameter. With each put into operation a new section connects the underground consecutive districts of the city. Logically consequences are faster movement of citizens of the city, relieving ground traffic, reduce pollution and carbon dioxide emissions, etc. The interesting for me is that some metro stations appear on sites that previously did not take that traffic. Accordingly, the areas around them are change. In practice, the flow of persons formed by metro will change points of the city. The three major diameters is planned to be put into operation in 2018. At the same time build new social, business, production and storage structures. According to me the flows in Sofia for about 25 years will be radically changed. I think however well made calculations, there will inaccuracies. Forthcoming are interesting changes in the movement of people, raw materials and stocks.
