Prague 1 invites citizens to a meeting about the development of the city center
“Participation will build on all the development projects of our district in all areas of its life that have been implemented so far. It is a joint work, in which city hall officials, independent experts and the public participate in addition to the management of the city district and representatives,” says Petr Hejma, mayor of Prague 1. The main share in shaping the historical part of the city should rest on the shoulders of the people of Prague. Both locals and “overseas” can participate.
The topics of the debates on the sustainable development of the center of Prague include, for example, transport, safety, the environment, housing and tourism. “Prague 1 has a high concentration of cultural infrastructure on its territory the potential to play a key role in the development of Prague’s cultural tourism, in working with public space or in connecting innovation with cultural heritage,” thinks Petr Peřinka, a member of the implementation team and at the same time director of the Creative Prague project.
How to get involved?
Those interested have two options for expressing their ideas regarding Prague 1. The first options are public meetings in individual parts of the “one”. Due to the different characteristics of individual localities, the town hall decided to divide Prague 1 into ten parts, of which seven are located on the right and three on the left bank of the Vltava. Interested parties must register for individual meetings. They always start at 18:00. The closest one is already taking place on February 9 about the fate of the Nové město – Wenceslas Square district.
Those who prefer the comfort of their home can attend the online workshop with registration no later than 3 hours before the start. All meetings also start at 18:00. The first workshop will take place on February 16.
It offers a second option to get involved in shaping the future of the city district survey part of the ongoing research Prague 1 eyes. As part of sociological research, organized by Prague 1, every resident of “one” can fill out a survey – by phone, in person or online. As part of the research, a representative sample of 800 to 1,000 residents of Prague 1 selected on the basis of sociological methods will be selected. The goal of the investigation is to obtain comprehensive information that will help in the creation of a strategy.
