The Memorial of National Unity could be part of this renovation. At that time only the completion date was public: the memorial will be completed until the centennial of the Trianon Peace Treaty (4 June 2020).
This April it became public what the memorial will look like: HUNGARY TO ERECT MEMORIAL OF TRIANON PEACE TREATY FOR THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2020
According to an earlier article of Urbanista, there will be a 100 metres long sloping ramp on the part of the Alkotmány street which is closer to Kossuth Square. On the walls of this ramp, the names of the detached places will be randomly listed. At the end of the ramp, there will be a sanctuary lamp, which will symbolise national unity. Tamás Wachsler, the CEO of the Imre Steindl Program, claimed to Magyar Nemzet that he hopes the contract will be signed in a few days and the working process can start before the end of April.
