This time, however, it's not about infrastructure or activities. This time it's about the results, most of which are available as videos. I think this is also interesting for people outside of Budapest and Europe as most problems in urban planning (due to car-centric planning) are quite similar worldwide. Note that all this work was done within ten days only, and even less working days!
First, students (mostly in the fields of architecture, civil engineering, geography and spatial planning) as well as filmmakers worked together to analyze the transport problems in a given project area in the center of Budapest. View all observations from different groups, or in particular ...
... a video about the accessibility of public transport ...
... the noise problem ...
... the lack of bike racks in important places ...
... the power of (parked) cars and white lines.
Do you agree? Can you find similar problems in your town? Do you think some of them are solvable? If yes, how? Brainwashing our society does not count, by the way ;-). Difficult, isn't it?
Well, we tried to solve some of these problems anyhow. Possible solutions or let's say suggestions are collected as final results. Among others you can for example ...
... follow a curious man on a walk through Budapest ...
... see how you can become an everyday life star ...
... or simply try to love Budapest.
Still not bored? For further reading see

I'm not happy that some of the presentations didn't actually propose solutions, although they are excellent in other ways. There's no magic wand to fix the problems and whatever the cure may be, it must include many aspects of life (urban planning, natural sciences, sociology, values, environment, decision makers, industries, aesthetics etc). Or possibly just a good and wise dictator :P
