The primary principle of our planning program is to revive Esztergom's unpaved and picturesque promenade back into the one of the city's top tourist destinations, as well as a popular destination for residents seeking relaxation; using both today's toolbox and the historical legacy of the past centuries as design guidelines. The basic aim is to establish, re-interpret the connection with the Kis-Duna, and to take advantage of the potential of this water proximity position.
The design of our plan focuses on keeping the area in continuous use, allowing a modular, phased or intermittent construction for each project element. The opportunity of a comprehensive transformation of the entire area will be provided along with the construction of the primary flood protection line on Prímás Island. Since the island will no longer be a floodplain, the expansion of the urban pedestrian network can be extended to the other side of the Kis-Duna. The central element of our concept is the axis of the promenade, however, in order to create architectural and functional unity we included adjacent streets and crossing bridges in our designs.
