Pope square II.

For years, there has been a fuss over the redevelopment of Pope Square. At last, plans have begun to be summarised in citizens’ working groups. Vol 2.

Final countdown

Our biggest project of the year, the participatory budget, ends today as voting closes. We will still have to work on it, of course, but most of the work is done for this year. These are the countdown creatives.

Ice cream

Every year we hold so-called Participatory Budgeting picnics. This was the third one this year, on Pápa tér. We were eating ice cream.

Hot dogs

Every year we hold so-called Participatory Budgeting picnics. This was the first one this year, on Szenes Iván Square. We were eating hot dogs.

Neighbourhood Day

Neighbourhood Day application is one of our most successful project at the Participation Office. These pictures were taken at one of the winning applicants’ events (Dobozi 21).

Working groups /2.

In the Józsefváros Participatory Budgeting, working groups of residents pre-screen the ideas submitted, and these photos were taken on the second such occasion.

Collecting

The Pope Square dog people are a pretty tight-knit community. Several times a year they organise action days to raise awareness about the importance of collecting dog shit.
