The Ďáblice housing estate awaits transformation. The Institute of Planning and Development of the Capital City of Prague is working on a draft territorial study
Some architects and urban planners say that the Ďáblice housing estate in Prague is the most beautiful in the Czech Republic. Now a transformation awaits him. The Institute of Planning and Development of the Capital City of Prague is preparing a territorial study to show the possibilities of further construction in the housing estate, as well as how to change parks in a modern way. Transport measures should also be included.
“We are at the end of a dead end street, which means that whoever comes here will have to turn around in that area at the end of the kindergarten. People who come here already know it and manage it in some way, but it’s definitely not an ideal situation, “describes Martin Marek from City Traffic, who is in charge of traffic changes in the housing estate.

Poor traffic at schools and kindergartens is one of the most pressing problems. Transport experts have already suggested some possible measures – for example, to adjust several places from perpendicular to longitudinal so that cars can pass. Or create places for short stays.
According to the chairman of the Prague 8 Transport Commission, Martin Jedlička from TOP 09, the town hall is also resolving the situation at schools: And so there are better views. “
Changes for drivers and pedestrians
The city district and traffic planners also deal with plenty of parking spaces. However, the modification of the housing estate does not only concern drivers, but also pedestrians. “Because, as it was in socialist planning, it was first suggested from the table where the sidewalks would be. And then they started living in it and somehow they started going elsewhere, “explained Petr Pšenička, CEO of City Traffic.
Improving conditions for cyclists should also be part of the traffic modifications. It is necessary to build bicycle stands near the Ládví metro station, where it will not rain on bicycles. And to solve the marking of the cycle path, which is occupied by the stalls today. Traffic problems are also recorded in the document Vize pro Ďáblice. Developed by experts in cooperation with the town hall and the local association Krásná Kobylisy, who are fighting against large development projects in the housing estate.
