Despite the official name of the city, the general atmosphere in Negru Vodă does not resemble that of an urban settlement. Instead of the crowds of people and cars that you would think of when it comes to urban space, in the locality, in the middle of the day, during the week, you hardly meet small groups of people, generally old people, or children coming or going from at school. On the streets, you see more carts than cars, although Negru Vodă is a border town.

Not even from the point of view of architecture or extent, Negru Vodă does not come too close to the image promised by the title that was assigned to it during the period of urbanization under communism. With a center that can be traversed in less than five minutes’ walk, a ravine as a spillway, and adjacent poorly paved streets, the township is far from even resembling the outskirts of a city. What reminds of the outskirts of a city would be, for the most part, the blocks built during the communist period and the slightly more modern buildings that are still found here and there.
