Participatory Planning in the Czech Republic - Case Studies

Project for the revitalization of the public space surrounding the National Agricultural and National Technical Museums.

The intention of the pilot participatory project is also to improve the city district's communication skills towards the public and to adopt new practices in the field of participatory planning. The project opens up a discussion with the public on the topic of approaches to tree alley renewal.

Architectural competition for a new park in an active flood zone, responding to the necessity to adapt to climate change. A unique opportunity to create a new park in the central part of Prague. The area between the port of Holešovice and the Barikádník bridge in close proximity to the river has been fallow for a long time and is suitable for such a project. The aim of the participatory process is to facilitate the implementation of a new park project that will respond to the needs and perceptions of its users, local residents and stakeholders. The design of the future park is the result of an architectural competition based on the outputs of the participatory process. 

Participatory creation of the strategic plan for the Prague 3 City District on a scale unique to the Czech environment.

An equally important goal was to raise local self-government to the highest international standards so that Prague 3 becomes a pioneer of participatory and strategic planning in the Czech Republic.

Participatory creation of a development strategy with conceptual deliberation for the Prague-Lipence City District.
