IPR Praha: Letenský kříž

Homepage > Locality development > Letenský kříž

The high street will be complemented with street furniture, new tree alleys, and artistic interventions in the public space.

The reconstruction of the tram line in the Strossmayerovo náměstí - railway viaduct - U Výstaviště Street section is a clear opportunity to rehabilitate the entire street space. We therefore developed a conceptual study of the given area based on an initiative by the Prague Public Transit Company and the Prague 7 municipal district. The design increases safety and permeability. Public spaces will be improved while new pedestrian crossings and barrier-free stops will be created. The high street will be complemented with street furniture, new tree alleys, and artistic interventions in the public space.
