Instead, however, the current Budapest Urban Development Strategy is trying to
do a little bit for everyone, somewhat too comfortably promoting redevelopment in the
inner city areas and the transition zone parallel to an active expansion of the southern
M0-M1-M7 highway zone as a key logistical zone as well as a new focus on the so-called
Northern twin cities around the northern end of the M0 (see figure 9.9). The southeastern
area around and beyond the city limits, where residential sprawl also has become
a major factor recently, remained unidentified (at least in Phase II drafts until 1999).
