In the context of the development of the South City Gate in Budapest, the main emphasis in the design of open spaces has been on creating a connection with water and ensuring ecological processes.
In the northern tip of Csepel Island, major green space and sports investments have been made. Two pedestrian-cycle bridges are being built next to the road bridge, and a main promenade and cycle path linking them will open up the island's interior. The sports facilities in the area will provide facilities for community and individual use and will also meet the requirements of competitive sports. In addition to the rich sporting offer, the island will be enriched with recreational facilities. A playground and a dog park will be created, as well as a pond with a large surface area. The landscaping of the island's green areas will include pavement areas on the periphery of the parks to enhance the natural dynamic, natural shoreline areas on the Danube bank, and succession areas on the lakeshore and in the lake.
The Student City area will create a variety of open spaces, from urban squares, public parks and inner gardens to natural water features. A coastal promenade along the Ráckevei-Soroksár branch of the Danube creates a direct link between the water and the waterfront. Small gastronomic outlets can be set up in the coastal floating gardens.
Urban community spaces will be created around the central building, which can also be used for events. The gastronomic areas, community gardens, the market and small sports areas will be the main focus of community life.
