peer to peer Budapest Plenary II - the development of post-socialist metropolises from a pan-European perspective 4th November 2014
1st assignment Hungary + central Europe seen from far 25 years ago
Swiss people, in the middle of last century, did not travel much and far and look at their own feet (mine, standing on my hometown Zug)
my chosen second home has rarely snow and virtually no mountains..
and not much autumn trees (as I was used to in Switzerland and Canada)..
Vienna 1st trip abroad, and of high school, but central Europe was ‘on the other side’ (and we went mostly to see ‘culture’ as we had learned in school) Berlin student movements meet to discuss pacific coexistence (sponsored by the USA) and we went rather to visit East Berlin and the Brecht Theatre Vilnius nineties (EMTA meeting) National Geographic declares that ere is the centre of Europe
45 years ago Canada
we (Pal Baross and me) are multiple migrants 20 years of Hungary through friends behavior (anthropology says that it is enough to know thoroughly one specimen, but of course it is not quite so, especially if the specimen changes and mutates
we met in Vancouver at UBC to make a master in urban and regional planning, not speaking much English • Vancouver, then a city with old buses, no bicycles.. • We migration around west end of Vancouver • Paul up from a garage (in Budapest) to 27th floor • me 3 apartments in 2 years • me, in Ottawa I worked on the 27th floor • (took longer to get up with the elevators than walking to the office)
learning the trade ‘thegreenbook’ (all knowledge in one textbook; we never read it but leaned a lot from a bunch of professors and from each other, everybody having a different training)
Europe was far away some events and personalities made us think Milan Kundera(1975) Lech Walesa (1980)
last 20 years I came to Budapest (and other Central Europe countries) a number of times through multiple projects, visits… cooperation + friends Bestuf EMTA URBACT QUEST

violent emigration 3 examples
Hungary 1966 almost 60 years ago forced emigration (also to Switzerland – why? Because the Swiss had evicted Jews during the war and had a bad conscience)
