Stelian Bujduveanu (b. 1989) has been serving as Acting General Mayor of Bucharest since May 2025, leading Romania’s capital through a phase of accelerated transformation. With a background in law and public administration, and over a decade of experience in local government, he combines strategic vision with hands-on management of the city’s most pressing challenges.

Before taking office, he served as Deputy Mayor of Bucharest, where he spearheaded reforms in mobility, parking, and urban transport—introducing the city’s integrated ticketing system, expanding bus lanes, and modernizing the public transport fleet.

As Acting Mayor, his leadership has been marked by a strong shift toward sustainable, people-centered development. In just a few months, he has presented Bucharest’s first comprehensive cycling masterplan, initiated the rehabilitation of major bridges at seismic risk, accelerated modernization of the heating network, and launched major decongestion works in the Dimitrie Pompeiu business district. He has also overseen the rollout of inclusive transport technology for visually impaired citizens and taken bold steps to revive cultural heritage landmarks such as the historic Solacolu Inn.

His approach to governance blends long-term strategy with urgent action, aiming to turn Bucharest into a more accessible, resilient, and future-ready European capital.
