Social program
Budapest’s 8th district, called Józsefváros, is one of the most interesting and colorful parts of the city. Magdolna Quarter is located in this district. Physical and social backwardness is very significant in this quarter. The rate of disadvantaged families, gypsy population and unemployment is high, the level of education is low.

A long-term social program has started in 2005 with these aims:

  • providing proper homes to the inhabitants with different social and cultural backgrounds;
  • setting up an attractive urban environment involving the inhabitants;
  • basing new cultural-social public places.

The goal is to stop the backwardness and to integrate the area into the district, keeping the unique characteristics, and in this way setting up a sustainable city-quarter.

In 2011, the third phase of the social program started. This phase contents the rehabilitation of more public spaces. One of them is located between Fiumeiand Dobozi streets, this is where FiDo’s name comes from. This renovation actually means a comprehensive social program, including sport and recreation possibilities. In the quarter there are very little green areas and open spaces for sport activities. Teenagers are in serious danger of getting into criminal groups or taking drugs.

The most important goal is to offer such programs, events and sport opportunities for the local children and young population, which can provide them possibilities for spending their free time in a useful and healthy way.

Social workers will help the young visitors in the community building and in the park. Due to proper programs and interesting events children hopefully will start thinking of the park as their own. The rest of the plot will remain as a green area for recreation, a significant portion of the area will be used for sports activities. The building will provide a space for indoor activities in a community room and of course, the building contents service and operation zones as well.
