Budapest
Budapest District XI — Újbuda
Újbuda is one of Budapest’s clearest laboratories of modern urban growth. Gellért’s thermal landscape, the Technical University, Bartók Béla Boulevard, Kelenföld power infrastructure and railway expansion pushed Buda south, while Roman Albertfalva and Sas Hill add much older layers. Interwar districts, socialist housing and the transformation of Lágymányos from river landscape to campus complete a guide about engineering changing geography.
