![]() The proportion of men and women among the namesakes of streets and squares is 90-10 (photo: ) From persons living in which historical era did most streets and squares get their name? Are they real or fictional people? The recently completed interactive map, created jointly by the Budapest Archives and the team of ÁTLÓ (they also created a map of street names in Budapest referring to Trianon), helps to answer these questions. If we look at the current map of Budapest, we can see that there are a lot of different names on it, but these are not only important in themselves, the number of names from different categories also has a message value. Individual political systems and historical eras also like to be represented in the names of public spaces in Budapest, and this fact, together with the many regime changes of the last century and a half, has created a very colourful cavalcade in the names of the streets and squares of the capital.
