paths, safe pedestrian crossings

maintenance

Network

  • No practice in demand-based

and integrated planning

Traffic

  • Bus network and

frequency

  • Lack of public-bike system

different public transport networks and timetables

  • Lack of road-safety audits

Legal and political regulation

  • Lack of public and stakeholders

involvement

  • Governmental level for agglomeration

does not exist

Sustainable city - What we achieved

Inner city rehabilitation

  • 2013: Main Street

Led light strips, car free zone

  • 2015: Várkörút (‚Castle boulevard’)

Cycling Infrastructure

  • 2015: Sóstó bike route
  • 2014-2015: bike-lanes

road space reallocation

▫ Rákóczi u. ▫ Balatoni u. ▫ Várkörút

slide-29
SLIDE 29

Sustainable city - future

Modern City program:

  • Green city: new trees, leisure park,

forest playground

  • Expansion of inner city –

connecting Zichy Park to the Main street

  • Budapest – Balaton Bike Highway

Organization structure:

„New way” of thinking:

  • Integrated City Development Strategy (2009, 2014) -> Action Plan (2015)
  • Transport Development Strategy (2010)

SLIDE 34

SWOT on planning

S

  • Feher-Bike Network concept
  • Changes in pay -parking policy
  • Green-city project
  • Cooperation with:
  • Cycling Club
  • Police – road safety department
  • Local environmentalist association
  • Chamber of Architects
  • Association for Transport Sciences

W

Lack of

  • sustainable policy
  • integrated data collection and analysis
  • Integrated planning (focus on road

safety)

  • evaluation process of measures
  • public and stakeholders’ involvement

(only politicians’ local forums)

  • campaigns to change vision (shared

space, sustainable mobility modes)

O

  • City leader in CIVINET
  • Calls requiring integrated and sustainable

actions

  • Industrial companies’s involvement in

investments

  • ‚Senate’: mayors’ consultancy (elder,

recognized, potent people, mainly not experts)

T

  • Local government members’ pressure
  • Demand base
  • everyone knows better how to organize

traffic

  • one can think only on one way
  • mass or volume?
  • Vision of sustainability is not clear
  • National<– >municipal interests
  • SUMP 1.0 without workgroup
  • Measures to match EU calls
  • Political lobby on national level without

professional background

slide-35
SLIDE 35

SUMP oriented planning - fears

  • Planning process is not known in policy and by citizens
  • Until maintenance is still a problem higher visions are not in interest
  • Vision of Sustainable City is not clear (road safety and green city so far)
  • Members and their roles in WorkGroup - transport experts try to convince

leaders and citizens

  • City development practice <-> European sustainable policies
  • Vision and objectives could be too wide
  • Bottom – up planning: calls->projects->measures->priorities
  • Communication (consequences of project Várkörut, reactions on mobility

solutions...)

slide-36
SLIDE 36

SUMP oriented planning – what we did

  • Identified stakeholders and key actors
  • Reviewed the resources -> the city will not contract out

the writing of SUMP

  • Reviewed national and regional frameworks & plans
  • Conducted self-assessment (~190 pages)
  • Planning long-term bike route network
slide-37
SLIDE 37

SUMP oriented planning – where we are

  • The workgroup is established:

▫ Hungarian Bicycle Club ▫ Hungarian Automobile Club ▫ Gaia Environmental Organization ▫ Institute for Transport Sciences ▫ Department of City Architect ▫ Citykeeper of Szekesfehervar Ltd. ▫ Local public transport company ▫ Hungarian State Railways ▫ City Police

Two meetings held in the previous weeks and collected problems.

slide-38
SLIDE 38

SUMP oriented planning – next steps

  • Preparing analysis of problems and opportunities
  • Setting up a vision, long-term and mid-term goals,

indicators

  • Developing scenarios
  • Latest news:

National government decided last week to support the intermodal center, but SUMP is a requirement for the

  • subsidy. Therefore the mobility plan will be prepared

focusing on the intermodal center due to the insufficient time.
