Budapest – Space Sensation
Take your time to see your city with different eyes, as Mindspace did with their project ???Space Sensation???.
Budapest Permanent linkLike many metropolitan areas in Central and Eastern Europe, Budapest is undergoing a major transition in urban governance questioning the top-down municipal oversight of city development.
This comes partly with the shift towards globalised and private investments in real-estate, infrastructure and urban services, partly from the appearance of new stakeholders who influence and occasionally take over the development responsibilities of the city. During Shared Cities, Budapest explored ways of reinvigorating the former industrial area of Csepel Island or bringing life to R??k??czi Square, a large square in the centre of Budapest.
K??K is an independent Contemporary Architecture Centre in Budapest. Operated by young Hungarian architects, artists and civilians, the centre explores new perspectives of architectural and urban thinking. K??K organises conferences, workshops, roundtable discussions, festivals, movie nights, exhibitions, urban walks and community gardening ??? encouraging the wider public to participate in planning today???s cities. As part of Shared Cities, K??K organized the urban celebration Budapest100 and explored Csepel Island, a long neglected plant area with a history of heavy industry now undergoing a process of transformation.
Mindspace is a non-profit founded in 2011 that manages cultural urban projects, with a focus on smart cities and sustainability through participation and gamification. Mindspace???s main projects in the framework of Shared Cities: Creative Momentum are:??Better Budapest ??? a participatory online platform that citizens of Budapest can use for crowd-sourcing problems in the district.
