By 2050, 70% of the world’s population will live in cities. Because it is good to live in a city. Everything seems to be close and apparently, you can reach any location quickly. However, nowadays an average Budapest inhabitant spends 31.5 minutes just to get to their workplace day by day – and the same time on the way back. And that does not include shopping, picking up the children from school, having a coffee with friends or any other evening programmes.
The above example demonstrates it well enough that traditional city structures meet the requirements that originally made them people’s first choice less and less. Let us admit, it is impossible to like a faceless crowd, the constant clutter or accept the fact that we will be late from time to time, despite always being in a rush. One can merely get used to it. And we have not yet mentioned the importance of a healthy, green environment, which is in shorter and shorter supply in the capital.
Tópark Be My City is a special opportunity for us to demonstrate: what would it be like to live in the city of the future, where there is no need to renounce any advantages but the disadvantages of Budapest: new buildings with premium-quality apartments, offices and service units, eco-conscious architectural solutions, liberal spaces in a neighbourhood where one does not have to wait for the weekend to relax. Learn more about the city of the future – and the workplace of the future.
