Client: District XIII of Budapest
Duration: Febraury 2016 – September 2016
Beside developing the Integrated Urban Development Strategy for District XIII in 2008 and conducting its bi-annual monitoring and reviews, in 2016 the Metropolitan Research Institute also developed the Integrated Territotorial Development Strategy of the District. The document was divided into two major units: the Backround Analysis for development and the Strategy itself.
According to the main statement of the underlying part (Background Analysis), District XIII is a progressive, dynamically developing district with a favorable urban structure. The engine of the dynamic development is a thoughtful, disciplined and transparent city management adapted to a long-term vision, in which the district seeks to maintain a partnership among all stakeholders and satisfy all the interests and prosperity of its population. The Strategy itself was developed based on the findings of the Background Analysis. It tries to overcome the contradiction that it must be forward-looking, investor-orienting, and at the same time flexible and capable of accommodating new aspirations. The strategy identifies mid-term development goals to be achieved as well as the range of interventions and implementation tools for their integrated implementation, helping the success of the next 5-7 years of urban development activities. Due to the integrated role of the Strategy, it is striving to ensure that the main development activities in the district are implemented in a coordinated way – both in time and space, creating the required synergies between the different elements and areas of development.
