Example text
The contemporary name implies the new foundation by Germans. Tabán was repopulated by the Serb inhabitants running from the Turks. The small houses of the Serbs (called Rác) and the irregular structure of winding roads gave the suburb a Balkan character. Krisztinaváros, on the other hand, was populated as holiday gardens of the inhabitants of the Castle District, although only in the 1770s. There were few connections among the suburbs; they lived their lives in isolation. Similarly to Buda, spontaneous growth within the city walls started in the eighteenth century in Pest too, following the medieval ground plan.
The city forest was planted to absorb the sand; later it was developed into a public park, by the example of the Prater in Vienna; this became the Városliget. The Városliget had an impact on modifying the structure of the city by attracting Andrássy Street, a representative boulevard of Budapest in the dualist era. A similar impact on the later city structure was that of the first railway station of Pest, the destination of the Vác railway in the place of the present Nyugati pályaudvar (Western Railway Station).
Development started in the manufacturing industry of agricultural goods, the mill industry and meat processing; later heavy industry became the dominant industrial activity. The development of the industry of Budapest was greatly promoted by the industry development policy of the state with its tax allowances. This led to the birth of the largest manufacturing industry concentration of Hungary in Budapest. It was typical in this process that the large-scale companies were founded as joint stock companies and thus the large facilities were less and less bound to family businesses (Bácskai and Gyáni 1998).
