Popis: This article presents the arguments that can be taken into consideration in the decision of setting the conurbation assembly of Galati-Braila as a coordination area of the Southeast region. An important feature of the Galati and Braila cities is their location on the Danube-Rhine-Main Trans-European shipping artery, which may require the development of roads, including the construction of a bridge for crossing the Danube river, already proposed in the area between Galati and Braila, that can complete the road corridor of our country, as proposed in the Economic Cooperation from the Black Sea zone. The quantative research methodology used to demonstrate that the Galati and Braila cities have the potential to become the capital of the Southeast region of Romania is based on the systematic empirical investigation via statistical and numerical data that proved out to determine the fundamental social and economic interconnections such as: geographical location, natural and economic potential, administrative organization, population, working and employed population, number of unemployed population and the unemployment rate, local units of industry, construction, trade and other categories, land and the main livestock species, GDP per country/regional/counties, education and learning, educational institutions, teachers and school attendance, hospital units and health medical staff, structure of the quality of life and public roads and railways. The statistical instruments and the associations used in the present research disclosed a causal relationship between the indicators of the two counties, which in many areas are complementary, so the purpose of the research has been attained, representing a strong argument that the political factors should envisage and take the necessary steps forward in establishing a new region capital.
