The situation of NBS in Hungary
2
The main problems
 NBS is rather weak, low awareness
 Lack of supportive (enforcing) legal and regulatory background
 Expertise needs to be strengthened
 Dominance of fancy grey projects (with everything behind)
HOWEVER
- Political aspects: pressure from the public (but short term survival will always
be more important than long term survival, look at covid)
- Economic aspects: new, emerging market (our sales strategy)
- Global problems – „global” solutions with integrative tools (different
disciplines and solutions to several problems)
- Think big and rely on your „country konwledge” (e.g. universities, projects)
- Local expertise and networks exists, funding was available for green-blue
municipal solutions

Structural Reform Support Programme (SRSP/TSI)
Promoting green and blue municipal infrastructure
Three main goals:
 An overview of the problems of the Hungarian building codes in terms of green
infrastructure, and how these can be amended (instead of „climate, biodiversity” approach)
 Mainstreaming into other policies (e.g. transport, water utilities, energy etc.)
 How municipalities and local bodies involved in construction, municipal and regional
development can enforce the aspects of green-blue infrastructure in their own regulations
