The Green City (Zöld város) initiative is part of the Új Főnix Program, and it is dealing with the renewal of the green areas of the city.
Although there were large green areas in the city, such as the parks, playgrounds, and outdoor sports fields, these have become quite worn out over many years. Trees and shrubs have become sparse, grassy areas were traversed, and the city’s inhabitants wore out toys and sports equipment.
According to the program, the playgrounds will be put in order first, but the other green areas will also be renewed in time.
One of the latest renewal developments was done in Újkert where the program’s implementation is on an area of about 117,000 square meters across nine locations. Sports fields, stone pavements, tree maintenance, and car parking places will be built in different parts of the district.
In Görgey Street, the assembly of the playground elements is underway. The fence will be completed, and the playground will also be covered in the coming weeks. Spatial planning is also taking place in the vicinity of the Békessy Béla street sports field.
The HUF 872 million investment is planned to be completed by the beginning of next year.
Developments are also underway in the Tócóvölgy, Tócóskert, Petőfi tér and Sóház districts., while some other parts of the city were already renewed, including:
