THE REGENERATION OF A HUNGARIAN CITY CENTRE FROM THE 1990s TILL NOWADAYS

Abstract

In the first part of this paper, I would like to introduce the renewal of some Hungarian historical cities. The reconstruction of Debrecen’s city core is discussed in detail in the next part. As regards the paper’s topic it deals mainly with the renewal of the built environment. In Debrecen’s case the preparation of the city centre’s regeneration began in the 1990s and bigger morphological changes could happen only during the last one and a half decade. Naturally those changes, which have led to the city centre’s alteration have had effect on the city’s development and its future possibilities as well.
