While Nokia did manage to establish a short-­lived factory building in the outskirts of Cluj in Jucu—­a former state farmland and industrial zone—it never completed its downtown office building. Yet the assembly plant, “Nokia Village,” provided temporary employment for hundreds of Romanians hungry for work in the post­recession economy. ­There, workers pro­cessed keyboards, screens, motherboards, headphones, chargers, and more into packaged products to be shipped to retail stores. At the time, the press heralded Nokia Village as the “factory of the future,” one that would create at least fifteen thousand jobs and make Romania “the seventh power of ­Europe.”8 While ­these aspirational promises set in motion ongoing Silicon fantasies, soon after, Nokia was offered a deal to relocate to China, where new tax breaks awaited. They quickly closed up shop and left the city before completing their downtown office building (though Nokia does maintain offices in Bucharest and Timișoara ­today). A five-­thousand-­square-­meter parcel of the Coastei Street region where the Cluj office was going to be built was instead handed over to the Christian Orthodox Archbishop to build a Faculty of Theology, replete with student dormitories. The church’s leader baldly suggested that the education perks of the proj­ect would “make up” for the eviction of Roma residents.9 ­There ­were even conversations of developing an ikea in the area.
