Șagului

Șagului is considered the first neighborhood of blocks of flats in the city, created for labor migration produced when the communist regime decided to accelerate industrialization.

Along the road, in the 1960s, collective houses of Soviet architecture with eight and ten floors were built, which had a propagandistic role, suggesting the greatness of communism.

[2] A total of 12,582 apartments were built for 44,000 people in Șagului and surrounding areas (Dâmbovița, Steaua, etc.).

Șagului is crossed by European route E70 leading to Belgrade, county roads 591 (towards Cenei) and 595 (via Chișoda and Giroc), as well as by CFR lines 918 (Timișoara–Buziaș–Lugoj) and 922 (Timișoara–Stamora Moravița), which connect Timișoara with the commune of Șag and Serbia and provides the area with easy access to the city center and all the districts of Timișoara.

At the same time, Timișoara Sud bypass crosses the southern edge of the district, connecting DN59 with DN6 towards Bucharest.
