Description

The housing estate on Füredi út, Bupapest, is the fifth biggest housing estate in the capital of Hungary (sixth of the country) from the late 60s - early 70s. There were three kindergartens for 1600 children (total) for the 30,000 inhabitants... The "Kék Óvoda" (Blue Kindergarten) was the biggest afaik, streching in a park between the prefabricated tenement houses (the "Danish Panels" as these were built on a Danish technology). As the population of the neighborhood grew elder, the building got too big for the needs, and in the late 90s it was sold for peanuts. The new owner did nothing, not even the basic maintenance and the building deteriorated sharply. The flora of the park ran wild and find way in and homeless people and junkies followed, making the life of the inhabitants from the vicinity rather complicated. The municipality finally took back the estate but there was no way but demolishing the building.
