Q: Are any cities in Hungary part of the Slow Cities movement?

— J. Rios, Toronto

A: Hodmezovasarhely is the country’s first community to apply for Slow City status. The town of 48,000 residents in Hungary’s Great Plain region applied for the designation last year and hopes to become the country’s first city to be recognized as part of the international Slow Cities Movement. The Slow Cities movement is a spin off of the Slow Food movement, a concept developed by Italian foodies in 1986. The group hated how big American fast food chains were encroaching on the Italian lifestyle. Advocates of the Slow Cities Movement felt life was getting too busy, out of control and have broadened the idea to include a stress-free city life in an urban setting.
