Új Rákosrendező

The Rákosrendező Masterplan is a transformative 244-hectare brownfield redevelopment in the heart of Budapest, including a 148-hectare action area, redefining one of Europe's most significant urban regeneration sites.

In collaboration with Coldefy, Treibhaus, Spora Architects, and Markó & Placemakers, the project was awarded First Prize in an international competition commissioned by the Budapest Capital Asset Management Centre on behalf of the Municipality of Budapest.
The proposal introduces over 10,000 new homes alongside commercial, civic, and recreational spaces, all structured around the principles of the 15-minute city. At its core lies the existing railway landscape, reimagined as a defining spatial framework that supports mobility, long-distance views, and a network of public parks. This backbone is complemented by a system of interconnected green and blue corridors, enhancing ecological performance while creating attractive, accessible public spaces.
The new district is organised into six distinct neighborhoods, each with its own identity and local centre, anchored by a central mobility hub around a new train station. This structure enables flexibility, accommodating diverse lifestyles, household types, and future urban dynamics. A strong emphasis is placed on high-quality public space, with a sequence of key green areas- including a railway park, the large forest park, and a sports park- linked by a continuous north–south green axis.
The plan will convert the long-neglected railway area on the Pest side, over the next 15 years, into a European benchmark of sustainability- lively, mixed-used and landscape-driven.
