folyóparti

Folyóparti is a Hungarian adjective meaning "of or along the riverbank." It is used to describe places, landscapes, buildings, or districts that lie beside a river or otherwise relate to the river environment. In urban planning and geography, a folyóparti area may include embankments, promenades, parks, and adjacent residential or industrial zones. The term signals proximity to water, often implying scenic value or functional ties to the river, such as flood protection or water management infrastructure.

The word is formed from the base folyópart (riverbank) with the adjectival suffix -i, yielding folyóparti. It is used attributively to modify nouns, for example folyóparti sétány (riverside promenade), folyóparti lakóövezet (riverside residential area), or folyóparti iparterület (riverside industrial area). In Hungarian texts, the term conveys spatial relationships and is common in descriptions of cities along major rivers or in planning documents addressing river-adjacent zones.

Notes: the specific rivers and locales vary; the term does not designate a single place but a type of location characterized by its river adjacency. The concept can apply to natural riverbanks as well as to man-made riverfronts.
