Summary/Abstract: Though several attempts were made to create the Budapest Green Ring, it was never realized, keeping the green spaces of the city mutually isolated. Following 19th-century military innovations and the change in the position of traditional defenses, a rebirth occurred of the areas between the historic city center and the outer, with the development pattern of this transitional zone between the old city and the outskirts revealing unique tendencies among European capitals. This paper aims to study the green surface development of Budapest in the context of innovative international green infrastructure development strategies.
