I will try to gather all posts from the former Central European Commieblocks thread...
Panelházak | Hungarian commieblocks
One of us had complained about the lack of commieblock modernization efforts in Budapest. An important downtown commie neighborhood seems to have made one of the first steps. It's the Josephtown commie neighborhood.
The first scaffolds. It's only a portion of the whole area of blocks. I hope the rest will come soon too.

Reconstruction of commie-blocks based on the national budget is underway. In the past two years, several blocks were modernized lead by mainly the local governments of Kaposvár, Szeged, Debrecen and Székesfehérvár (government vs. opposition 2-2 :nuts: ). Szekesfehérvár and Szeged won funds for renovation of 13000 and 8000 flats as part of a 2 year programme started on 2007.01.01. The "pioneer" of commie-block-reconstruction, Kaposvár isn't far behind, with its 5000 flats. But Kaposvár's programme encloses not only the modernization of the building itself, but its surroundings aswell.
Few photos from the city of Szeged:

Ok, this is from Poland, but look at that monster...
Ok, this is from Poland, but look at that monster...
You see the undeniable similarity...?
Now this automaticly raises some questions...
1, Europe's main car manufactors are suing China 24-7, for copying their cars, and actually almost everything. Now in this case, why doesn't China take the necessary steps against this obvious stealing of a thousends of years old blueprint?
2, Slovenia wants to build that new Pyramid, because Poland has already got the Great Wall? Central Europe is redefining the 7 wonders of the Ancient World, what's going to be next? The Colossus of Rhodes/Neum in Croatia? The temple/statue of Gyurcsány in Budapest, after The Statue/Temple of Zeus at Olympia?
3, China built the Great Wall due to defensive reasons... Who is Poland defending Europe from...?

Hungary's largest residental building is the highrise in the city of Pécs.
This commie was built in 1974, and when completed it was the tallest residental building in Central Europe. According to the Guiness book of records, today it is the tallest abandoned building is in Central Europe. It was emptied in 1989 due to vital structural problems.
25 floors and 84 meters (275,6 ft) high
250 apartments
I couldn't really find good photos, so if anyone has, please post them.
Its not as high as the Ryugyong Hotel [330 m (1,083 ft)] in Pyongyang, North Korea, but still a perfect memento of an insaine system.
