FIRST PRIZE – Rákosrendező Masterplan Competition, Budapest

The interdisciplinary team - Coldefy, Cityförster, Marko&Placemakers, Spora Architects, Treibhaus Landscape - has been awarded First Prize in the international masterplan competition for the redevelopment of Rákosrendező in Budapest—one of the most significant urban transformation projects in the region. Covering 244 hectares, the site represents a unique opportunity to redefine a largely abandoned railway yard into a vibrant, sustainable, and inclusive new district. Our proposal sets a clear direction for the future of the area, envisioning a liveable neighbourhood with approximately 10,000 homes, generous green spaces and a strong public realm network. The project is commissioned by the Budapest Capital Asset Management Centre on behalf of the Municipality of Budapest.
