  • Leadership by Streetwise – Jewish Identity Trip to Budapest 27.10.2019 – 29.10.2019
    Leadership by Streetwise – Jewish Identity Trip to Budapest 27.10.2019 – 29.10.2019 On Sunday 27th October, 2019, 11 young leaders and 4 staff members went to Budapest for the Leadership by Streetwise programme’s second ever international Trip. The 3-day trip used parts of the Jewish Identity Programme from the European Maccabi Games 2019, and reshaped into relevant content for young leaders in training. At every site visited, the group had a guided tour and an informal educational activity that allowed them to connect with the site and history on a more personal level and to develop their leadership skills. Sunday started with a trip to the Citadella, a beautiful view-point of the city and home to the Hungarian Statue of Liberty. The topic of conversation was freedom, what it meant to us and to what extent we have it. This was linked with our Judaism and how visible we feel we can be with it, linking to a broader conversation about integration vs assimilation. We continued this theme throughout the trip to compare and contrast our lives as Jews in Britain, to the Jews living in Hungary today. From the Citadella we went on to Buda Castle and Fisheman’s Bastion. We discussed how the Jewish people came to Hungary in the middle ages and throughout history were persecuted and expelled, then brought back to the forefront of society for economic growth. The group got onto a discussion about teamwork and how it feels to play different roles within a team, to be needed, to be used, to be excluded.

    SZENT LÁSZLÓ NAPOK KŐBÁNYÁN 2018. június 21-24. BUDAPEST FŐVÁROS BUDAPEST FŐVÁROS X. KERÜLET X. KERÜLET KŐBÁNYAI ÖNKORMÁNYZAT KŐBÁNYAI ÖNKORMÁNYZAT KITÜNTETETTJEI KEDVES KŐBÁNYAIAK! Bizonyára tudják, hogy Budapest legismertebb, gyönyörű építményei, látnivalói a kerületünkben kitermelt kövekből állnak: a Lánchíd, a Citadella, a Mátyás-templom, a Halászbástya, az Akadémia, az Opera épülete, az Andrássy út számos palotája. De azt tudják-e, hogy Kőbánya miből épül fel? Kerületünk legfontosabb pillérei valójában nem kőből és habarcsból állnak. Hanem olyan emberekből, akik ebben a kiadványunkban is szerepelnek. Ők teszik olyan erőssé Kőbányát, az ő tetteik, az ő életük az, amelyre egy egész kerület fejlődését alapozzuk. Amivel ők szolgálják nap mint nap Kőbányát, azt nem lehet megtanítani semmilyen iskolában, nem lehet beleírni a munkaköri leírásba – az szívből jön. Ez teszi a foglalkozást hivatássá, ettől válik az ügyszám emberi sorssá, így lesz a gyerekből, a diákból kibontakozó tehetség, a páciensből Józsi bácsi vagy Tóth család – a munkából pedig a közösség szolgálata. Ez az, amitől igazán jó kőbányainak lenni. Igen, fontos a fejlődés, hogy megújuljanak a középületeink, megszépüljenek a köztereink, hogy megfelelő körülményeket biztosítsunk a gyerekeknek, az ügyfeleknek, a betegeknek. De ennél is fontosabb, hogy szeressünk itt élni. Akik hittel és elkötelezettséggel dolgoznak a közösségünkért, azok az emberek teszik igazán szerethetővé Kőbányát. Mi minden évben kiválasztjuk közülük azokat, akik a legjobbak voltak a legjobbak között, és az egész kerület nevében megköszönjük mindazt, amit Kőbányáért tesznek. Róluk szól ez a kiadvány. Fogadják szeretettel! D.

Budapest Műszaki és Gazdaságtudmányi Egyetem Építészmérnöki Kar Településkutató szekció 2015 Absztrakt Városi közbringarendszer működésének elemzése Big Data módszertan alkalmazásával 1965, 2014, 50, 5, 712, 1, 96, 1150, 815.000, 22.000. Európa első közbringarendszere 1965-ben indult el, és mára 5 kontinens, 50 ország, 712 városa használja ezt a kiegészítő közlekedési módot. Több mint egy éve üzemel Budapest új közösségi közlekedési rendszere, mely 96 gyűjtőállomásból, 1150 kerékpárból áll, amit több mint, 815 ezer alkalommal összesen 22 ezer felhasználó bérelt ki. Az okos város egyik legtalálóbb meghatározása: egy olyan közösség, amely egyszerre hatékony, élhető és fenntartható. Olyan város, amely technológia-alapú megoldásokat kínál a problémák feloldására. Az egyik ilyen megoldás lehet, például egy olyan átfogó városfejlesztés, mint a Mol Bubi közösségi kerékpárrendszer bevezetése. A Bubi megalkotásának célja egy olcsó, gyors egészséges városi közlekedés alternatívájának kínálása a városlakóknak és a turistáknak egyaránt. Rengeteg kérdés merülhet fel bennünk. Kik és miért használják ezt az új kiegészítő közlekedési módot? Hol és mikor pattannak a nyeregbe legtöbben? Mennyire használják a turisták, mennyire a városlakók és milyen céllal? Melyek a frekventált útvonalak, és hol lenne szükség további fejlesztésekre? A közbringarendszer üzemelésének során összegyűlt, nagyméretű adatok összessége válaszokat adhat számunkra.
