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. -

Having studied in England, he returned to Hungary in 1884. By 1886, he had developed a plan, titled “Budapest Stream Tramway Network”, laying down the groundwork for an advanced track-based transport system. -

Basics of MOL Bubi 3. Parts of MOL Bubi 4. Interesting facts Intelligent Transport Systems Basics of bike sharing Importance of the topic People lives in urban area will grow from 3,3 to 6,4 billion until 2050. In several of her presentation Robin Chase quoted Stanford professor Banny Banerjee : "You can’t solve exponential problems with linear solutions.„ Sharing economy can be this non-linear solution. Until 2001 only some systems exist around the world, while in 2012 this number increased over 400, in 2014 the number climbed up over 800, therefore it shows a non-linear growth. Intelligent Transport Systems Definition of PBS ECF: “a self-service, short-term, one-way capable bike rental offer in public spaces, for several target groups, with network characteristics” Mol-Bubi: “Public Bike Sharing (PBS) system is a new kind of alternative public transport service, which is an extension of the conventional public transport system. This service can provide flexibility to users same as private transport options. PBS systems provide public bikes for free or very small fee in the frequently used urban spaces. The system can be used for one way trip by anyone.” Other: “Bike-share programs are networks of public use bicycles distributed around a city for use at low cost.

JP1.10 APPLICATION OF SATELLITE INFORMATION TO URBAN CLIMATOLOGY Judit Bartholy*, Rita Pongrácz, Zsuzsanna Dezsõ Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary 1. INTRODUCTION Hungary can be characterized by a special structure of population density, since around one-fifth Both the spatial extension of urban areas and the of the entire country live in the capital, Budapest (1.9 number of inhabitants in cities tend to increase world- millions out of the total 10.2 million Hungarian wide; nowadays somewhat more than half of the world citizens). This centralized structure explains and total population live in urban settlements. The highest emphasizes the importance of monitoring and continental population density occurs in Europe where evaluating the UHI and other urban climatological about 500 million people (out of 750 million) live in modifications due to the large agglomeration around cities (Fenger et al., 1998). The large number of city- Budapest. dwellers and the socio-economic conditions produce The spatial structure of major streets, buildings high industrial activity and significantly modify urban air and city parks in Budapest is mainly permanent for 100 quality. In order to find potential mitigation strategies years; it was developed by the Hungarian Millenium that facilitate the urban population to adapt to new (1896). The unchanged net of radial avenues and environmental conditions climatological impacts of concentric boulevards determines and limits the traffic urbanization including the urban heat island (UHI) that leads to increasing air pollution. New residential effect must be investigated. In this study the UHI for block houses of 15-20 m (4 story buildings) and 30-35 the Budapest agglomeration area (capital of Hungary, m high (10 story buildings) were built in the 1960s- located in Central Europe) and the nine largest cities of 1970s at the external districts of the city. -

Importance of the topic According to the UN forecast (United Nations, 2013), the present world population of about 7.2 billion people by 2025 will reach 8.1 billion people, while in 2050, 9.6 billion. The largest increase is expected in the developing regions, while in developed ones, the population is barely growing. Along with this urbanization is expected to increase, which means that the number of urban inhabitants is expected to rise from 3.3 to 6.4 billion. -

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. Kovács Róbert Kőbánya polgármestere 1 ZÁSZLÓSZALAG Budapest Főváros X. kerület Kőbányai Önkormányzat Képviselő-testülete 2012-ben rendeletet alkotott a kerületben élő, dolgozó, alkotó kiválóságok elismerésére. -

Radics ([email protected]) 1979 Abstract Increasing load of air pollution in urban environment emphasises the need for detailed evaluation of wind characteristics that significantly affect the air quality of urban areas, especially, in large agglomerations. This paper includes analysis of urban wind cli- 5 matology and estimation of wind profiles based on measurements of the new urban climate station located at the Eotv¨ os¨ University, observations of the meteorological sta- tion network of the Budapest agglomeration area, and multi-level wind measurements near Hegyhats´ al.´ Furthermore, wind field modelling (using the WAsP linear spectral wind flow model) is presented over selected representative complex areas that demon- 10 strates strong dependence between wind, height, topography, and roughness. 1 Introduction Urban areas and inhabitants of cities tend to increase; nowadays about half of the world total population live in urban settlements. The highest continental population density occurs in Europe where out of 750 million people 500 million live in large cities (Fenger 15 et al., 1998). This large number of dwellers and the socio-economic conditions pro- duce high industrial activity and modify urban air quality.
