Obuda Housing Estate, a residents garden, and view from the hills of Buda

…Soviet Housing blocks, where experimental and innovative residential designs for the masses were tested out during the 1960’s before being constructed across the country, was the destination of our visit today in search of inspirations for the location of next spring’s Edible Estate #12 – and after yesterday’s inspiring Wekerle Telep revelation (a development where rural transplants to the city could grow their own food, though most residents today do not) & today’s visit to an opposing utopian vision (where open green spaces between towers were planned as unoccupied lawns with trees, though we did see a modest homemade garden) – is making me think I’d like to do two Edible Estate Regional Prototype Gardens here next year – in these two neighborhoods on opposite sides of the Danube, one in Buda, the other in Pest.
