Get an Exciting Glimpse into Prague’s Future with This Innovative App!
The Prague Tomorrow? app offers users an in-depth look into the upcoming construction projects that are set to change the face of the city.
Exciting changes are underway in Prague, including significant upgrades like the Nový Hlavák (Prague’s Main Train Station) terminal, the redevelopment of Rohanský and Libeňský ostrov, and a revamped Smíchov transport hub.
But what kind of effects will these projects bring to the urban environment? What new bridges will be built over the Vltava River? Moreover, how will derelict industrial sites, referred to as brownfields, be revitalized?
The Institute of Planning and Development (IPR) has introduced a groundbreaking app called Prague Tomorrow?, which presents an interactive overview of both large and smaller-scale construction initiatives that are destined to redefine the future of the capital.
This innovative app enables users to virtually navigate through these developments, providing valuable insights into how the city of Prague is set to transform.
Each project is accompanied by a dedicated profile card that contains important information—including project status, layout details, images, and a concise description.
“I am thrilled that we have officially launched this application, which has been in the works for several years,” shared Ondřej Boháč, Director of IPR. “We believe this tool will keep residents updated on the changes taking place in their neighborhoods as well as across the city.”
Boháč emphasized that the app encompasses not only significant projects but also smaller initiatives, such as tram line extensions and the construction of new footbridges or pathways, which can significantly enhance the local quality of life.
“While the spotlight often shines on larger-scale projects, it’s the smaller, local initiatives that often create the most substantial impact on daily living,” he continued.
Beyond well-known projects, the app includes a broad array of other noteworthy developments, such as the fourth quadrant of Vítězné náměstí, the Bubny-Výstaviště train line, and the Hradebni Korzo.
As stated by Štěpán Bärtl, the head of the Center for Architecture and Urban Planning (CAMP), “We aim to ensure that all the information presented in the app is continually updated. In our next phase, we plan to involve citizens and investors directly, giving them the opportunity to take part in the planning process for projects in their communities.”
