Matasari
7.5
Lower score (below 6)
Mătăsari is a city in Gorj that exists because of the Turceni Power Plant complex — it was effectively built to house plant workers and that is the entire economic and social logic of the place. The power station is one of Romania's largest, burning lignite from nearby mines, and the town functions as a company settlement in every meaningful sense. Entirely industrial, zero social infrastructure for outsiders, and the environmental footprint of the plant — cooling tower plumes, coal dust, sulfur dioxide on still days — is inescapable.
