Description

Budafok-Tétény is a small, but historically rich settlement, possessing cultural, artistic and man-made environment values, but the inner city is largely ruined. The Organization implements a project, ’Community planning of Budafok inner city’, in order to launch a conversation with relevant stakeholders, and offer conceptual inputs for the Local Authority. The aim of the project is to introduce the method of community planning and builds a civil basis, so that civil community is able to latch on to the local decision making processes of urban development. As a result of the project 20 people engaged in the development activity and 12 new institutional relations will be established. As an outcome of the project a brochure will be published on the inner city civil concept as the result of 6 workshops and a civil forum for inhabitants. A survey among citizens with questionnaire will be carried out. Target group is the civil community of Budafok-Tétény, indirectly: inhabitants of Budafok.

Summary of project results

Promontorium Civil Casino carried out a one-year community planning process in the inner city of Budafok. The inner city definitely needs renewal thus the aim of the association was to contribute to this process by identifying a possible orientation of the future of the city based on broad social involvement. The aim was to make the civil society became active actor in the rehabilitation process of the town. 12 workshop and forum took places with more than 200 participants: politicians, civil associations and members, entrepreneurs, artists, schools and its pupils, these were the programs in which the beneficiaries were involved. Main results were starting dialogue with the local authority, identifying options of cooperation, and the expression of need for complex approaches instead of project based rehabilitation in the inner town. The project was closed with the will for a further common thinking and acting and this makes the results seem to be sustainable.
