What is confirmed by the survey:

- Relatively young population in Bp- Low education level: (~27% max primary school, at certain

areas like Magdolna, up to 35%)- Poverty, large part of inhabitants are beneficiairies of

social care system. Unemployment- Heterogenous society, multi-cultural population, Roma

community specific image of the area- Old housing stock a large part dates back to the pre-war

periods strongly dilapidated, need of regeneration- High percentage of public owned dwellings (end of 1990s:

40%, 2010: ~15% face to 6% in Budapest )- High number of tenants with rent arrears...

(Survey of REV 8 on the socio-spatial situation in Magdolna and Orczy neighbourhoods: 2007 and 2010)

Heterogenous district

Orczy neighbourhood

History: Traditional differences between sub-areas

Socialism: from a rather multicultural neighbourhood to a ghetto?

Image in the 1990s: „crime”„Roma ghetto”

Since 2000s: reintegration as the main challenge

Page 4: KKeresztely EVALUATE workshop Budapest

Main challenges for local policies

- Urban renewal, re-integrating the disctrict into the city- Social cohesion- Living conditions- Economic recovering- „De-criminalisation” ...

Territory-based urban renewal policy : 4 main programmes - Palace neighbourhood- Corvin neighbourhood- Magdolna neighbourhood- Orczy neighbourhood

All of them gentrification oriented even if discourses and methods are different.

Corvin project

Complete demolishing of a run-down neighbourhood next to the city centre and the construction of a high rise residential area with shopping and service functions.

→22 hectares, 12 500 inhabitants (1,7 million in Budapest)

→Public housing stock had been important: 40%→2500 housing concerned by the project: 1100

demolished, 1400 maintained→500 families were relocated: 230 were tenants, 370

owners

→Relocations of inhabitants to buildings next to the project area, Negotiations with the tenants. No follow-up with delocalised tenants.

Magdolna Neighbourhood ProgrammeSocially integrated urban renewal Phase 1: 2005-2008Phase 2: 2008-11 (ERDF)Phase 3: 2013-15 (ERDF)

Impacts on social cohesion in the area?- Weak participation of inhabitants (renewal of housing by

tenants, limited participative planning)- No improvement of muncipal housing conditions,

renewal of facades and common parts o the buildings, not flats (claims of inhabitants)

- New bordering processes, delocalisation of the social problems (drug use, poverty, people with arrears) into one or two streets

- Phase 3: an attempt to push „probelmatic population” out of the area: crisis buildings
