Újabb büszkeségünk🤩
The mixed-use Zugló City Centre in Budapest is defined by the surrounding urban fabric of the 14th district’s avenues and parks; weaving new public squares and gardens through the heart of the design to connect with the re-established natural ecosystem at Rákos Creek. Creating a network of interconnected gardens and plazas lined with restaurants and cafes, shops, apartments and offices as well as a new medical clinic and town hall, Zugló City Centre is located site of nearly seven hectares between Bosnyák Square and Rákos Creek.
Incorporating insulating green roofs as well as the collection, storage and reuse of 90,000 cubic meters of rainwater per year, together with the orientation and composition of its buildings contribute to naturally regulating temperatures within the centre; decreasing summer peaks by up to 6°C compared to average temperatures in downtown Budapest.
To achieve these goals, the design includes nearly 35,000 sq.m of communal green space, shade trees and ponds to establish a new park that will be the third largest in the district. Extending to the natural ecosystem of Rákos Creek, the ‘green spine’ includes the planting of 900 new trees and defines the central axis of the City Centre design; transforming from urban plazas and gardens into natural parkland at the creek, enabling all those living in the 14th district to easily connect with nature.
