WELCOME!
The capital of Hungary, Budapest is divided into 23 districts, of which the III. district, Óbuda-Békásmegyer is the second largest and second populous district of Budapest with almost 40,000 inhabitants on 40 square kilometers.
The eastern board is River Danube, where is the only natural riverside in Budapest, the Roman shore, which today functions as a holiday and recreation area.
Óbuda’s western border is the Pilis mountain. Increasingly inhabited areas take place here, green suburbs, perfect for family houses. Beside that, Mocsárosdűlő, the Lake Gőtés and Óbuda Island are preserved areas where the city and nature meet.
Óbuda is a diverse district of Budapest, where the city’s infrastructure, the rich historical heritage and the nature are equally emphasized.
Here we have to serve the housing and leisure needs of all habitants, be able to provide city infrastructure, transport facilities and also, fun. Here, you have to preserve your „Óbuda” identity, while always being ready to renew.
SM/ART ÓBUDA
Our mission is to empower the habitants of Óbuda-Békásmegyer (Budapest, 3rd District) to think on a more creative way of the public areas. We organised creative events for locals such as painting benches, painting pathways in front of schools or nurseries, or creating a recycled pop-up community park.

URBAN DREAM GARDEN
We created a pop-up city park in an abandoned area of Óbuda-Békásmegyer. The Urban Dream Garden was open for almost 2 month in fall season of 2022. All recycled or borrowed items, low budget solutions, community work and lots of fun!
Community floor painting
During the fall of 2022 we involved 10 educational organisations (nurseries, schools) to evolve a creative action in front of the buildings entrance, which last for a while. The people, who were involved happily painted their logos or creative ideas to the entrance’s floor which is still visible for anyone entering the buildings.
Benches at Silvanus
There is a small, isolated playground in the famous „Pók street blocks”, Silvanus „small” playground where 12 boring benches were waiting for a reborn. In community work we painted all the benches, and at the end of the process, the painters voted for the 3 best paintings. The winners gained vouchers to restaurants and furniture stores.
