About this audio guide
This guide to Alexandru Ioan Cuza Park in Bucharest, the neighbourhood park locals call IOR, follows twelve hectares beside Lake Titan and what happened to them after a lawsuit in two thousand five. You'll meet the activists, mayors and courts drawn into a fight over who owns the ground under the grass. Best heard on the paths near the lake, where the park's edges are easiest to read.
