Budapest celebrates victory: Mini-Dubai project of the Orbán government failed!

In Budapest, the opposition mayor Gergely Karácsony has won a decisive victory against the government of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. The controversial "Mini-Dubai" project, which was to accommodate several skyscrapers on the site of a disused freight station, was stopped by the city government. According to a report by krone.at , the city's right of first refusal was activated, which means that responsibility for the development of the 85 hectare area is now in the hands of the city. The purchase contract between the Hungarian state and the investor Eagle Hill from the United Arab Emirates, which was signed in January

Karácsony triumphantly announced on Facebook that Budapest's interest had won and that a sustainable residential area, called Parkstadt, is to be built instead of the planned skyscrapers. This is a smart reorientation, because in Hungarian media it is mentioned that Karácsony may be able to affect difficulties with the government, especially since extensive conversions have to be coordinated that have to be approved by Orbán's cabinet. This challenge could endanger the implementation of his plans, such as Budapester.hu noted.

Karácsony's challenges

Urban development is not only shaped by financial aspects, but also by climate policy. Karácsony has promised to plant numerous trees and to improve the cityscape, which is directly related to the quality of life of the residents. The mayor's words promise a turn in urban planning, which takes into account both ecological and social dimensions.
