Hřebík (STAN): Ďáblice and Prague 8 settlements defied the plan to build experimental modular housing
The Ládví Apartment Building construction project is planned for the Ďáblice housing estate. This is a plan approved by the Council of the Capital City of Prague, and the construction project was not discussed with the citizens, nor with the City District of Prague 8.
The councilor of Prague 8 and the association of residents of the Krásná Kobylisy housing estate do not agree with the implementation of the given project and with the approach of politicians from the municipality. According to them, the local occasional deserves fair treatment.

“According to the inadmissible, I approved the councils in the territory of Prague 8, did not carry out the approval process in the territory of the city of Prague 8. Specifically, we propose in this case we adopted and accepted as our resolution In the long run, we demand that significant changes in the territory, especially of a construction nature, be consulted with our inhabitants and, in particular, that citizens be heard on their suggestions and that their vision be respected. of the City of Prague Tomáš Hřebík, Councilor of the Prague 8 District for Strategic Development (STAN).
The building is situated in the area delimited by Střelničná, Davídkova and Taussigova streets. The City of Prague planned it as an experimental modular building of temporary use with a shortened life cycle and the possibility of removal in the horizon of 20 to 30 years. It is designed up to the level of the third floor with a capacity of 40 smaller housing units and maintaining the functionality of the existing parking lot. Financial costs are estimated at 160 million crowns.
Local citizens are afraid of inappropriate concentration of housing estates, restrictions on parking spaces, reductions are becoming greenery and social impacts on life and safety in the vicinity of the nearby metro station Ládví. “We demand that the views of local residents and interested associations be taken into account in the project,” said Jiří Vítek (Patriots), Deputy Mayor of Prague 8 for Territorial Development.
The current zoning plan does not envisage this project. The proposed territorial study for the Ďáblice housing estate, presented by the Institute of Planning and Development of the Capital City of Prague on 20 September 2021 to the representatives of the Krásné Kobylisy Association and the Prague 8 District, excluded this construction. Nevertheless, on 14 October 2021, the Prague City Council approved the project, and on 20 October a modified version of the territorial study was added.
“There is a discrepancy between the city’s organizations and an unconceptual approach to this will change. If the IPR, based on the decision of the municipality, changes its expert opinion by 180 degrees within a month, we must ask whether the really experimental modular construction is planned within the conceptual development of the housing estate or it is an awkward result of political interests seeking to increase urban housing capacity, “she said. Jana Rozmarová, chairwoman of the Krásná Kobylisy association.
The Ďáblice housing estate is a unique example of a successful combination of modernist and traditional principles in urbanism in Central Europe. Thanks to this, it proves its viability and attractiveness even several decades after construction. In recent years, there have been several reconstruction proposals that have insensitively disrupted this concept and started a debate on the future direction of the entire housing estate. The solution is to approve the Vision of the Ďáblice housing estate by the Prague 8 City District Council. Experts from the field of urbanism, architecture, environment and representatives of local housing cooperatives and civic initiatives take part in its creation.
