The study is focused on the unrealized plans for ring roads in Buda and Miskolc created by Antal Palóczi at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Palóczi’s approach combined functional urbanism with aesthetic principles rooted in the artistic shaping of urban spaces. This dual approach was aligned with contemporary urban planning trends, represented by Josef Stübben’s rational planning and Camillo Sitte’s urban design. The analysed plans exemplify Palóczi’s vision for enhancing traffic flow, public health, city aesthetics and urban greenery. The study combines analysis of the then contemporary thematic press and a review of the original (unpublished) plans with integration analyses.
