Nudist beach to be built in Budapest?!
Budapest’s citizens were asked about what would they spend the Hungarian capital’s participative budget on. Here are the most popular ideas.
A total of 687 ideas were received for the utilisation of the available financial resources. The final decision is in Budapest citizens’ hands who can decide which project should be implemented in the Hungarian capital.
A wide range of ideas were received for proposal, including
- social camping for the homeless,
- footbridge between Corvinus and the Technical University,
- a sunbathing area at the Roman beach,
- monument to the victims of the coronavirus,
- baby flag for the newborn house,
- hammocks on the Liberty Bridge
- the landscaping of Budapest’s iconic place, the Heroes’ Square.
As the Hungarian news portal Népszava reports,
many people support the idea of planting trees, cleaning public spaces and parks in Budapest.
Besides, traffic calming, new bus and bicycle lanes and various garbage issues are also taken into consideration. However, many project elements are already launched or planned by the capital, such as the flowering of Blaha Lujza Square, a time-based ticket for public transport, greening the inner courtyard of condominiums, creating a unified parking system or making the capital’s economy transparent. Also, two new types of tax have been proposed: a cityscape tax to protect old buildings and curb public advertising and a tax to regulate farmers.
Among the most peculiar initiatives, we can find the city-wide pit registration system, the nudist beach, the general error reporting application, and the “translation” of official forms for the average person.
All of the proposals are taken into consideration; some of them are even combined into larger projects.
Participative budgeting has already been used in Western Europe and has gained success, for example, in Paris. The first topic to hit Budapest was the construction of public toilets, greening and community composting.
The received proposals will be discussed this weekend. After that, Budapest citizens can vote in May for the selected initiatives. Implementation of the winning plans will begin later this year and the beginning of next year.

Saint Pope John XX111 – in 1958 had not long been the Pope of the Hoy Roman Catholic Church.
Saint Pope John XX11 – was following a possession of Bishops and Cardinals and other Religious in the Vatican in Rome, when he overheard a women say looking at the Bishops and Cardinals – “there so old and fat”.
Saint Pope John XX111 – stopped momentarily and addressed the women – “this is not meant to be a fashion show”.
In his Pontificate he received the name as “Johnny Walker” as he would frequently, go out through the St. Anna Gates of the Vatican, to take a walk, in the oddest of hours.
The proposed nudist beach at Roman Beach – why not, done it numbers of time in my life, in various countries, by their permitted laws.
Respectfully I do say, in the words of Saint Pope John XX111 – it won’t always be a Fashion show.
