In the case of the urban and rural development course, it is important that our students empirically see and experience urban development processes in reality.  In order to get empirical experience, the course instructor, Júlia Schuchmann, regularly organizes study walks in the city. Most recently, they took a study tour with the students through one of the largest real estate development areas in Budapest. Afterwards, the group viewed Budapest from one of the city's highest observation decks, the 29th-floor roof terrace of the MOL Tower.

On March 23, we visited the Planet Expo sustainability exhibition with our master's students. The exhibition addressed today's environmental challenges in an interactive way. Visitors could try out various environmentally friendly technologies and methods for themselves, and watch educational short films. Film spaces, interactive installations and inspiring programs helped us understand how we should live more sustainably.
