Czech and Slovak urban and cultural restoration
Overview
Municipalities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia continue to undertake diverse urban renewal, cultural restoration, and infrastructure projects. In the Czech Republic, urban revitalization and heritage preservation remain central. In Kolín, reconstruction has begun on a historical bastion to house an exhibition on city fortifications, and a 98 million CZK project is being prepared to restore Jewish houses on Na Hradbách street.
Urban infrastructure projects are expanding. In Otrokovice, Baťova street is undergoing a two-stage transformation including road reconstruction and new sidewalks. Litomyšl is initiating a third stage of riverbank transformation at the Vodní valy and Osická street intersection to create a public park. In Krnov, the city has approved major investments, including a 75 million CZK reconstruction of the Krnov Senior Home and a 107 million CZK revitalization of the bus station parking lot. In Uherské Hradiště, the Štěpnice housing estate will undergo a 90 million CZK modernization focused on climate resilience and rainwater management.
Cultural and administrative renovations are progressing. In Znojmo, plans have been unveiled to convert a former post office into a modern library and community center. In Slovakia, Košice is implementing a new territorial plan to accommodate a projected population of 300,000, while Senica is launching a street art project at city boundaries. In Olomouc, the former Soviet army social center at the Černá cesta estate is slated for redevelopment into apartments and shops. In Prague, a winning design has been selected for a multifunctional block in the Libeň district, featuring residential buildings and a public piazzetta.
