While touring Budapest, our guide described how the local government in the 1920s-1930s required builders to put 20% of their money into the façade of the building. What happened was a beautiful city. She then lamented that when the Soviets took over after the war, they put 0% into the façade. The style that took over was classic Soviet Architecture -Brutalist. Very ugly.
