Is there self-sustaining green space? What are the climate adaptation solutions? And how can the lessons learned be transferred to businesses, even on a smaller scale? On our ‘Race to Zero on the Spot‘ programme, our member company BKM Nonprofit Zrt. FŐKERT Division for Urban Park Management, invited member companies to a unique tour of Pünkösdfürdő Park, dreamed up and created by BKM, with the help of Adrienne Szalkai, Head of the Department and Chief Designer.

The 7-hectare Pünkösdfürdő Park, which has also been awarded the Green Cities Europe national award, represents an ecological approach. A park attractive to all ages was created with natural solutions and contemporary architectural elements. The primary goal of the park, which was conceived with a regenerative approach, was to let nature prevail and create a truly sustainable and self-sustaining area.
The rain gardens help to make good use of the water that was previously stagnant there, and the wildflower meadow, which was created on 17,000 square meters and uses a special seed mixture that best suits the area, plays a major role in terms of biodiversity. There are also fruit trees in the area, with 24 species of trees harvested year after year. There are plenty of opportunities for sports and a nature trail for playful recreation.

Involving the public and thinking together is an important aspect in both the design and operation of the park. The area has an outstanding level of satisfaction, and the community also cooperates in protecting the park. The unique project is also extremely suitable for shaping attitudes, and many ideas and inspiration can be gathered not only for the public, but also for the implementation of corporate sustainability biodiversity programs.
