This is what Budapest’s new green oasis will look like! – PHOTOS

The new green oasis in the 12th district of Budapest will be constructed within the framework of the renovation project of Városmajor. Presumably, the so-called “Green Corridor” will link Vérmező, Tabán, and Gellért Hill parks along the Ördög-árok valley, all the way to the Danube.

Budapest’s new oasis could cover 600-700 thousand m2 that has already been included in the plans for the renovation of Városmajor. The green corridor would improve air quality by increasing green areas, planting new trees and well-maintained recreational areas, and it would also provide residents with more sports facilities and outdoor activities.

As Hungarian news portal Portfolio reports,

the green corridor is planned to link the Vérmező, Tabán, and Gellért Hill parks along the Ördög-árok valley, all the way to the Danube.

The green corridor in Budapest’s 12th district will be easily accessible. One way of ensuring this is to calm traffic on connecting streets that link Városmajor and Vérmező. Cars will be banned from entering and parking in the area. Additionally, several surrounding streets will be converted into pedestrian and cycle-friendly zones to create a truly green corridor.

Dávid Vitézy, the CEO of the Centre for Budapest Transport, highlighted that a significant part of the environmental renovation can only take place after the development of the southern circular railway. Many of the affected areas are connected to the construction site.

“While the central part of the planned green corridor, the Hamzsabégi Promenade, has been a valuable green space and park for residents for years, the beginning and the end of the axis from Budaörsi Road to the Danube are now rather unorganised and lacking in function. The other side of the railway embankment, the area around Sárbogárd and Dombóvár Roads, is also affected by the planning, and the missing link between the two sides will be created by the pedestrian and cycle crossings that will be built as part of the railway project.

This entire area will become a coherently landscaped, pedestrian and cycle-friendly corridor, with traffic calming where needed. The priority is to create humane, liveable, green, and urban spaces at the crossing main roads, including the Bartók Béla junction, Csonka János Square or the area under the Buda bridgehead of the Rákóczi Bridge,” said Dávid Vitézy.

Presumably, the development of the southern circular railway will be completed at the end of 2027.

Therefore, it will take some time until the construction of Budapest’s green corridor is completed. Still, the visual plans clearly reflect the main purpose: to regenerate the area around the railway by the end of the project, reported Hungarian news portal Portfolio.

    Why would make a public park look like a office park with structures that blend in with green areas. The photo of wall graphics looks like trash and cheap modern design with moderne designed fixtures- and let’s not forget the bare aluminum light poles with no character – ugly benches and trash cans and other fixtures with a cold look that don’t complement nature.
