TRANSPORT PLANS AND PLACEMENT OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS SEEN IN THE PLANS OF THE PARTICIPANTS OF THE URBAN DESIGN COMPETITION FOR BUDPAEST IN 1871

Budapest is a city born in 1873 by unifying two independent areas separated by the Danube. In 1871, the Counsel for Public Utility Works, the task of which was to prepare a town planning scheme after the integration of the city, held an urban designcompetition. The purpose of the competition was to connect the two areas by transport plansand to create monumental cityscapeby placing public buildings. Although few of the ideas of the participants were adopted in the plan created by the Counsel, similar ideas were proposed by urban planners later and some of them were realized.
