These internationally recognised firms illustrate what made Kôbánya one of Budapest and Hungary’s most important industrial centres at the turn of the 20th century. Seventy-seven larger factories, among them iron, machine and textile plants, along with countless smaller private enterprises operated in this area by the time of the First World War. Over 40 years its population had quadrupled, so that by 1910 more than 35,000 lived and worked here. In 1949, seven urban areas and 16 communities that had basically grown together with the capital were administratively attached to Budapest. With this Kôbánya was transformed from an outlying area to one of the inner districts, as the capital’s geometric centre is located here to this day at Martinovics Square.

  • The Case of Chinese Entrepreneurs in The
    Why Would We Need A “Chinatown”? The case of Chinese entrepreneurs in the rust belts of the 8th and 10th districts of Budapest By MELINDA SZABÓ Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts Supervisors Professor Ayse Caglar CEU eTD Collection Assistant Professor Daniel Monterescu Budapest, Hungary 2009 Abstract Although the number of Chinese immigrants in Budapest is lower than it used to be in the early- and mid-90s, Chinese traders’ enduring presence can be expected in the city – especially in the rust belts of the 8th and 10th districts of Budapest, which became reviving areas thanks to migrants’ investments and business activities. The aim of my thesis is to explore what may reason the fact that despite the spatial concentration of Chinese trading enterprises these areas have not turned to form the basis of a “Chinatown”. However, according to my presumption, the formal recognition of a “Chinatown” would be beneficial both for the city and Chinese migrants. It may promote transnational migrants’ urban incorporation and could advance the city’s position as branding itself with the multicultural environment that these places constitute. For seeking answers to this question I have scrutinized not only the structural opportunities of the city and migrants’ transnational networks which surely condition these processes, but also made qualitative research on the city leadership’s and migrants’ opinion about the idea. Hence I both applied a top-down and a bottom-up approach for investigations. I paid special attention to determine that within the local context who may be affected by the institutionalization of a “Chinatown” negatively in terms of social inclusion.

    Sultan Abdülmecid Döneminde İstanbul-Ayasofya Camii’ndeki Onarımlar ve Çalışmaları Aktaran Belgeler Sema Doğan* Özet: Bizans başkenti Konstantinopolis’in en önemli yapısı olan Hagia Sophia Kilisesi’nin tarihi, 4. yüzyılın ilk yarısında birinci, 5. yüzyılın başlarında ikinci, 6. yüzyılda üçüncü yapım evrelerinde izlenir. Osman- lı Dönemine kadar geçirdiği doğal tahribatlara karşın pek çok onarımla ayakta kalabilen kilise, 29 Mayıs 1453’te Fatih Sultan Mehmed’in İs- tanbul’u almasıyla camiye dönüştürülür. Ayasofya, Osmanlı Dönemin- de kentin en büyük Camii olmasıyla önemini sürdürmüştür. 19. yüzyıla kadar yeni bölümlerin ve mimari öğelerin eklenmesine karşın, büyük depremler yapıda zararlara yol açmıştır. Sultan Abdülmecid’in (1839-1861) yaptırdığı onarımların, yapının gü- nümüze gelebilmesinde payı büyüktür. İsviçre’li iki kardeş mimarın gö- revlendirilmesiyle 1847 yılında başlayan onarımlar, 1858 yılına dek devam etmiştir. Başta Fossati Kardeşler’in görsel ve yazılı belgeleri ile yayınlarının yanı sıra, aynı dönemde İstanbul’a gelen gezginlerin seya- hatnamelerinde gravürler eşliğinde aktardıkları bilgiler, Osmanlı arşiv- lerindeki kayıtlar, Ayasofya risaleleri ve dönemin ressamlarının Aya- sofya konulu tablolarında onarımlar izlenmekte, yapının önemi ortaya konmaktadır.
