Various cities in Slovakia and the Czech Republic are implementing urban infrastructure projects focused on sustainability and modernization.

In Prešov, Slovakia, the “Green Rings” initiative is advancing to create a sustainable mobility corridor connecting residential districts, parks, and rivers through non-motorized transport routes and biodiversity spaces. Meanwhile, in Komárno, a historic river-port crane is being outfitted with decorative LED lighting to highlight industrial heritage along the Danube.

In Prague, the City Council has approved administrative and infrastructure updates, including the naming and renaming of 22 new streets and one existing unnamed street across multiple districts, such as Prague 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 14, Kunratice, and Libuš. Notable designations include Na Sommě street in Prague 6 and Libuše Havelková Square in Prague 9.

Additionally, the council has extended contracts for the “Synergy” public lighting modernization project through late 2028. This initiative coordinates lighting upgrades with electrical network renewals to support e-mobility, ensuring street lamps have the capacity to host future electric vehicle charging stations while minimizing street disruptions.
