	The metal works (formerly called: Dunai Vasmű, now [http://dunaferr.hu/en ISD DUNAFERR]) were opened in 1954.

	In the middle of the 1950s, public transport was organized, with buses carrying 24,000 passengers each day. During the 1950s many cultural and sports facilities were built, the Endre Ságvári Primary School being the largest school in Central Europe in the 1960s. The official and obligatory architectural style and art movement of the communist system was [[socialist realism]].
