The Natural Future – Pesterzsébet – UCL research
Within the framework of the entire Pesterzsébet’s project, UFLab organized a public participation on-site event with the Complex Design Studio 1 students. Nikolett Puskás – who is a PhD student at the Institute for Global Prosperity at UCL University College London (UCL) – joined our team with her research, which focuses on various aspects of the using modes of Erzsébetfalva’s public spaces.
To facilitate the “public dialogue” we appeared at two locations simultaneously within the action area – in the Tatra Square market and on Kossuth Lajos Street, joining a local Outdoor Health and Sports Day event – and we applied gamified participatory planning tools in order to reach out to the local residents.
The opinions, suggestions and experiences gathered during the event were incorporated into the plans of the students and Nikolett also used them in her research.

Complex Design Studio 1 – Food Bank and Incubator House by Júlia Pokol
My project was a part of a teamwork concentrating on the XX. district of Budapest named Pesterzsébet. During the workshop we figured out a 5 step revitalization method that could help this part of our city to become more vivid and friendly to its inhabitants and visitors. This complex would be the third step out of the five, after the realization of a plastic recycling factory and workshop which would produce the colorful material covering its facade.
It is a house mixing a variety of functions: the ground floor is open to all visitors to use the community kitchen, where the remaining fruits, veggies ect. from the local market could be cooked for a free dinner to the ones in need. Also it is a place for young mothers to learn the ins and outs of housekeeping. The eating place towards the graden can be transformed into a saloon for occasional local events.
On the first floor resides a spatious coworking office facing Jókai Mór street, and a learning centre at the back, where language teaching and other classes of adult education could take place.
My goal was to create a both environmentally and humanly friendly place, which recycles space, food, waste and creates a great meeting point to its visitors. – Júlia Pokol

Zsámbék – City Center Development Plan
Zsámbék Város Önkormányzata megindította a városközpont teljes körű rehabilitációjához szükséges tervezői munkákat. A városvezetés elképzelése szerint az új központ átmenő járműforgalomtól elzárt, sétáló utca jellegű kialakítással valósulna meg. A jellemzően térkővel burkolt utcákon számos kiülő és pihenőfelület kap majd helyet, míg az egyes terek tagolása zöldfelületekkel fog megtörténni. A tervek szerint Szent István tér, Akadémia utca, Táncsics Mihály utca
és Piac köz közötti szakasza sétáló utcává válik, így új forgalmi rend alakul ki.
A gépjármű forgalom csak az utcákban lakók számára, az üzletek áru feltöltésére és a posta szolgálati járműveire korlátozódik. Kivételt képez a keddi, pénteki napokon tartandó piac. A Szent István téren és az Akadémia utcában lévő buszmegállók megszűnnek, helyettük a XXI. századi elvárásoknak megfelelő új autóbusz megálló épül.

Zsámbék2030 – Urban Development Program
With the „Zsámbék 2030” initiative, launched in 2015, the municipality wanted to establish a long-term dialogue process in order to strengthen the city and increase its chances of meeting the many challenges. We had to create a supportive environment that would allow renewal and the joining of forces after the debate on urban planning decisions. Efforts had to be made to build a consensus on the important issues that would make the city strong, stable and able to make the most of its potential, best able to meet the challenges, a healthy, well-functioning small town with a good reputation to live up to.
