Hungarian Landscape architecture has become an independent discipline substantial in both the contemporary open space design and urban design in Hungary. Challenges of the global climate change, the issues of urban liveability and sustainable rainwater management, have played an inevitable role in self-definition and acknowledgment of the landscape architecture profession, same way as the changing of social context and sensitivity towards issues of environmental quality. The advance of landscape architecture in Hungary is also due to the accession to the European Union un 2005. Thanks to a new economic and financial context, more attention is paid to the heritage conservation, sustainable and democratic use of existing values. As a result of all these changes, the improvement of urban spatial quality became a main development aspect of urban governance, and landscape architecture play an efficient tool in contemporary urban design.
