Nagy város

Big city

A large urban settlement.

🌍

문화적 배경

In Hungary, there is a sharp distinction between Budapest and 'vidék' (the rest of the country). A 'nagy város' usually refers to Budapest or one of the five major regional centers (Debrecen, Szeged, Miskolc, Pécs, Győr). The concept of a 'big city' varies wildly. For a Hungarian, a city of 200,000 is 'nagy', but for someone from China or India, that would be a small town. Many Hungarian 'nagy városok' were destroyed during the Ottoman wars and rebuilt in the 18th and 19th centuries, giving them a distinct Baroque or Neoclassical look. The 'nagy város' is a recurring character in Hungarian 'Urbánus' literature, representing progress, sin, and intellectual freedom.
