6. Kőbánya:
Kőbánya is District 10 of Budapest, with 70,000 local residents, a strong industrial background, old and new housing estates;
The Pongrac housing estate was a segregated, deprived neighbourhood that needed intervention;
The URBACT RegGov exchange was beneficial to producing the Local Action Plan (LAP) and drawing up a project proposal for the social urban renewal of the Pongrac housing estate.

An introspective journey”: To analyse the public service,
the food quality, the state of the art (baseline study)
A participative and integrated approach:
- “The allies game” (stakeholders analysis): local
producers, teachers, parents associations, private
companies, politicians, etc.
- “The mirror effect”: To set up a team, which
reproduced Södertälje’s organisation: cooks,
nutritionists, dieticians, etc.
Adapting the knowledge transfer to our legal framework:
a new public procurement model and Policy.
Knowledge: a two way – road
“The resistance to change”: To keep a persuasive attitude
Bottom up approach
Diet for a Green Planet: a transfer in all directions
