13.5 Suggestions for Application of the Tools
13.5.1 Open Space Characteristics of the Pilot Area
Rows of street trees appear only sporadically within the area (for example, in
Lövőház utca, Bimbó út, Marczibányi tér, Fillér utca, Felvinci út, Kapor utca,
Kitaibel Pál utca, Tizedes utca, Ribáry utca), and public green spaces or vegetation
are present only to a minimal extent (Fillér utca).
The rows often have trees missing; there are single and double rows of street
trees in the area (featuring Fraxinus, Koelreuteria, Acer, Robinia ssp.); and there are
two areas of signifi cant dimensions which also include water surfaces: Millenáris
Park (3.5 ha) and Mechwart liget (1.8 ha).
Examples of permeable surfaces in the area are negligible; apart from isolated
examples (such as Lövőház utca, Káplár utca, or Keleti Károly utca), the dominant
surface is asphalt, on both the roads and the sidewalks.
13.5.2 Action Plan and the Tools Employed
Rows of Street Trees in Public Spaces
Main effects: shading; reducing the air and surface temperature; evapotranspiration;
windbreaks; protection from UV rays; and reducing air pollution and greenhouse
gas emission.
Street trees may be planted depending on the types of buildings, the forms of
facades and streets, and the cross-section of the street; in many cases the dimensions
of the sidewalk and parking lane will not allow for any green spaces other than rows
of trees. Single or double rows may be planned (Figs. 13.1 and 13.2 ).
Street trees recommended for the area: a single row of Tilia x euchlora (15–20 m)
in Keleti Károly utca; a single row of Fraxinus excelsior ‘Jaspidea’ (10–15 m,
yellow- leaf variety) in Mechwart tér and Fillér utca and a double row in Fény utca
(Fig. 13.3 ); a single row of Gleditsia triacanthos ‘Sunburst’ (10–15 m, yellow-leaf
variety) in Buday László utca; a single row of Fraxinus excelsior ‘Westhof’s Glorie’
(20–25 m) in Garas utca; a single row of Koelreuteria paniculata (5–8 m) in Ezredes
utca and Pengő utca (Fig. 13.4 ); and a single row of Acer platanoides ‘Emerald
Queen’ (10–15 m, yellow-leaf variety) in Retek utca.
