The pictures below were taken on Wekerletelep, Budapest. This is nice small town-like part of Budapest, it was part of the garden city movement a century ago.
The Wekerle estate (Hungarian: Wekerletelep) is a part of
Budapest's XIX. district (known as Kispest). Kispest, formerly a suburb was
administratively attached to Budapest in 1950 along with several other
settlements of Greater Budapest. Wekerle estate was named after Sándor Wekerle,
then Hungarian prime minister, who supported the idea of building comfortable,
human-scale housing estates for government employees, and was instrumental in
launching the project of creating a garden city habitat.(Wikipedia)
