Climate-conscious regeneration of complete area, sum total: 3,318,750,000 HUF
Costs to be paid directly by local government: 613,750,000 HUF
Costs to be paid by local government without the relatively low-benefi t yet highcost permeable pavement: 363,750,000 HUF
Costs of climatically most effi cient and also most spectacular investment (street
trees and planters), which are within the jurisdiction of local authorities: 59,200,000
HUF
A fundamental prerequisite for planting rows of street trees, however, is coming
to a satisfactory arrangement with public utilities. Planting may be coordinated with
complete upgrades carried out by the utility companies, or with the installation of a
signifi cant new type of utility – such as district heating – which necessitates the
relocation of underground utility installations. It is therefore recommended that preliminary negotiations be conducted with utility companies, primarily with the representatives of FŐTÁV Zrt, the Budapest district heating agency, concerning the
submission of an EU pilot project, such as Horizont 2020.
