City Hall Park to be renovated in the heart of Budapest

“Here is the city’s new, very green and very cool main square, which will finally free the courtyard of the City Hall 3 from its confinement and become the city’s meeting point in the heart of Budapest, where the green space per capita is now the smallest. We are ready with the concept plans for the City Hall Park” – writes Mayor Gergely Karácsony on Facebook.

But when is still a question, Gergely Karácsony writes that it won’t be up to them to start construction next year, but an investment of this size always takes time, and the historic environment and the changed building law don’t make it any easier.
Some work has already begun: the courtyard is no longer a car park, the Merlin is once again a cultural and community space, and the City Hall Park has been returned to the people of Budapest and is being regenerated.

80 trees have been planted and will be irrigated with rainwater from the roofs. The proportion of green space has been increased to 50% and accessibility is planned.
