24 Budapest100 is an initiative of the Contemporary Architecture Centre in Budapest (KÉK) and the Open Society Archives. Both organisations oversee and support the implementation of the festival each year. The Municipality of Budapest (Cultural Department, Architectural Department, Mayor’s cabinet, City Branding Agency) supports the project. Currently 13 people work on the project part time with about 150 volunteers. Individual experts (architects, sociologists, urban planners, designers, historians) work as advisors. The festival would not be possible without the participation of owners and residents. Each year various public and private institutions are partners of the festival (museums, archives, libraries, associations, media, universities, businesses, etc.). With the support of volunteers and organisers, residents develop a programme related to the history of their buildings. Exhibitions, artistic performances and storytelling by residents and volunteers (urbanists, architects, researchers, photographers, etc.) complement the visits which allow festival participants to learn about the history of the place and what makes it unique or interesting. Budapest100 uses the built heritage to drive community engagement and increase awareness of and participation in urban development. Activities contribute to a more cohesive and inclusive social fabric, relying on a strong community of volunteers, residents, owners, artists and researchers. How? Top Tips Management
