As part of the Veszprém-Balaton 2023 European Capital of Culture program, we conducted extensive research on the cultural landscape of the Balaton Uplands, focusing on land-use traditions, transformation processes, and development opportunities. This program, covering dozens of municipalities, formulated conclusions and recommendations on intelligent land use and urban development, from local phenomena to regional scales.

The result is a series of books on the functioning of the region, its vision, the possible ways of life and the future that can emerge from current processes, and a year-long series of events that put the theme into practice on the ground.

The project was carried out in collaboration with KÉK - Centre for Contemporary Architecture.
