The Troja basin, in which Imperial Island is also located, has a huge recreational potential. One of Prague's most valuable and largest natural areas is about to be transformed. The banks of the Vltava will be restored to the state they were in about a hundred years ago. The concept for the revitalisation of Imperial Island is based on a design by an interdisciplinary team of architect Petr Pelčák, landscape architect Eva Wagnerová, traffic engineer Václav Malina and water engineer Miloslav Šindlar, who won a competitive workshop in 2015.
The competition workshop, which took place during May and June 2015, represented the preparatory phase of the future Concept of the Imperial Island. It combined a competition and an expert colloquium with broad participation. Its aim was to find a shared approach to the development of the area and to select the winning project from the five proposals that emerged continuously between the first and third meetings.
