Add to basketNeuware - This book examines Budapest's urban development, planning, and governance between 1990 and 2010. In the face of socialist urbanization's structural legacies, the recent radical decentralization of government and resources and the impacts of a post-socialist war of ideologies, a trend is analyzed which leads to an urbanization mostly characterized by business-dominated development projects not integrated into any grand urban design. The author claims this outcome to be typical of the development of post-socialist cities and presents it in an abstract model establishing links between particular historical background conditions and the phenomena of Budapest's recent urbanization. With a conversation between Kees Christiaanse, Ákos Moravánszky, and the author. ; Der Autor untersucht die Stadtentwicklung von Budapest von 1990 bis 2010. Diese Periode ist durch die signifikante Abnahme einer kommunal gelenkten Stadtplanung gekennzeichnet: Angesichts der strukturellen Vermächtnisse sozialistischer Urbanisierung, der Dezentralisierung von Regierung und Ressourcen und der Auswirkung eines postsozialistischen Kulturkampfes wird ein Trend analysiert, der zu unklaren Kompetenzen und damit zu einem Versagen übergeordneter Planung führt. Die Konsequenz daraus ist eine Zunahme investmentgetriebener privater Großprojekte: diese entziehen sich naturgemäß einer übergeordneten Lenkung, speziell dann, wenn diese zu schwach ausgeprägt ist. Die vorliegende Modellanalyse stellt dieses Phänomen als beispielhaft für die Entwicklung post-sozialistischer Städte dar.
