Deník civic project highlights Czech municipal issues

Overview

The Deník civic project, ‘Starosto, vyřeš to!’ (Mayor, solve it!), has transitioned from a voting phase into a period of active identification and response to urban challenges across the Czech Republic.

Recent polling results have provided specific granular data on local grievances. In Kladno, 49 percent of voters identified the area under the pergolas on ČSA street as the city’s primary problem, citing disorder and inappropriate behavior. In Opava, the Slezanka site emerged as the top concern with 78 percent of the vote, a site currently undergoing demolition. In Zlín, residents prioritized neglected public spaces, followed by inadequate sports infrastructure (33 percent) and homelessness (14 percent). Major planned projects in Zlín include the modernization of the transport terminal and a 639 million CZK reconstruction of the Velké kino.

Municipalities continue to navigate long-standing infrastructure and safety issues. In Jihlava, Mayor Petr Ryška has announced parking optimizations in the Na Slunci area involving investments of several million crowns. Meanwhile, Znojmo remains engaged in debates over a proposed parking garage, and Blansko continues to manage the decay of a former fire station. In České Lípa, residents maintain concerns regarding safety and parking, while Chomutov focuses on social issues within housing estates. Other ongoing regional concerns include sidewalk conditions in Kladno, the need for shade at bus stops in Třebíč, and the decay of historical baths in Brno. In Žďár nad Sázavou, officials continue to seek alternatives for a new outdoor swimming pool due to persistent water quality issues.
