National Planning Framework
Budapest and its agglomeration as the centre of the Central Hungary Region covered by Regional competitiveness and employment Objective of the European Union cohesion policy, is the most competitive region of Hungary, and a priority development pole. In the future, the development of the capital city should be focused on functions ensuring the competitiveness of the country, and on accessibility, while other roles of the city should be shared with the other Hungarian large cities. Therefore, in order to create the long term international competitiveness of the Budapest metropolis region interventions are launched to: − strengthen its international economic leader, tourism and cultural role and the establishment of the conditions and tools to achieve this, − develop a competitive labour force capable of meeting the requirements of a competitive economy (which is realised in a complex way building on tools aimed at employment policy, education and training, social services and services to maintain and re-establish health), − develop international, agglomeration and intra-city transport connections, − implement the tasks related to services in the region (tourism - including cultural economic, logistics and commercial), and the development of information technology, − establish a liveable region (comprehensive environment management, revitalisation of regions that have lost their function, protection of green areas, rational spatial management), −exploit the benefits arising from the knowledge industry, high-tech industries, activities producing high added value, and highly qualified labour force, and −interventions targeted at the regions and layers of society dropping behind, and social groups affected by various disadvantages (related to the labour market, society and health). The main development direction of the priority development pole of Budapest is info-communication industry, environment industry, biotechnology and medicine.
