New Cruise Festival
Recently, more and more people believe that the capital should be given back to the people. Car-free days are regularly held, more and more neighborhoods are being closed to traffic, and public parks are being established on vacant lots. A new initiative has also proven that you don't necessarily need a park-sized space to make the city full of life. A parking space is enough. […]
New tour
„Miért nem mi találtuk ki” – tette fel a költői kérdést Karácsony Gergely főpolgármester az „Új körút” tervvel kapcsolatban, amit múlt héten mutattunk be. A Kis Távolságok Városa Alapítvány eseményével több sajtóorgánum is foglalkozott. Terézváros önkormányzati médiája rendkívül jól foglalta össze: https://terezvaros.hu/hirek/uj-korut-szuletik Köszönjük az eseményt megnyitó Karácsony Gergely főpolgármesternek a támogató szavakat, az esemény panelbeszélgetésében […]
Parking Day 2022
What do San Francisco and Erzsébetváros have in common? We also implemented this action in Parking Day! 2022: we transformed parking lots into community spaces to show what it would be like if people, not cars, played the main role in the city. Because the city is ours, it is for us!
Globe
We were invited to the event called Földgömb, where we shared our urban policy vision of the 15-minute city.
Benches in front of the Garay Center
Many people had a problem with the lack of adequate seating where they could rest at Garay Square. However, Színes Erzsébetváros managed to get the municipality to install comfortable benches here as well.
Telephone booth removal from Nefelejcs Street
The streets of Erzsébetváros are home to a number of unused phone booths that have become outdated and neglected. The Színes Erzsébetváros team contacted the authorities and managed to remove several of the unused booths to make way for clean, tidy public spaces.
Phone booth decals
Disused phone booths often become illegal dumps or public toilets. Our campaign drew attention to the fact that these redundant objects no longer serve the community and require an urgent solution.
Hutÿra Ferenc Street – Phone Cleaning
On the streets of Erzsébetváros, we can still find old, dysfunctional phone booths, which are in poor condition in some places. Although the Hutÿra Ferenc street booth could not be removed, the Színes Erzsébetváros team cleaned it up so that it would not further spoil the streetscape.
Almássy Square park renovation
We often let our common values go to waste, even though a playground bench is an important part of the district's everyday life. A neglected piece of street furniture is not only aesthetically disturbing, but also worsens the quality of life of the community. That's why the Színes Erzsébetváros team polished, painted, and then gave the now renewed, colorful bench back to use for children and their parents.
Kazinczy Street Parklet
What would it be like if people took over parking spaces instead of cars? We made this a reality on Kazinczy Street, where we created parklets. These small community spaces offered a place to relax, talk and have fun in a green environment, showing that people-centered solutions can be found in the city.
