Does culture play a key role in this process, and if so, is the European Union aware of its importance? Do programming documents for the next period for Budapest express a recognizable will of the decision makers to transform the city to a Central-European creative capital? In my study, I examine the concepts and regulations of the new programming period for the urban development and their relations to the cultural and creative industries in order to evaluate, how much the new urban and regional policy promotes urban creativity, bottom-up approaches and cultural flourishing. The main question for the analysis – with a far wider scope that the framework of this study - is, if territorial and sectorial strategies can be combined effectively in order to foster the goals of the Europe 2020 strategy. I also analyse the documents, relevant for Budapest in order to evaluate, if creative development of the Hungarian capital is emphasised enough in the new plans for the future.

A community-driven process helped develop an inclusive vision for the park to be presented to the local government.
