Prague launched a new website monitoring greenery in the metropolis » Novinykraje.cz
PRAGUE – Trees, shrubs, grass strips and flower beds are an opportunity to improve the air and microclimate in the city. The Technical Administration of Communications has thus launched a new website zelenvpraze.cz, which has the task of informing about green management in Prague. The goal of the website is to refute falsehoods related to the management and maintenance of greenery and to answer the questions of the citizens of Prague.
For the technical management of roads, the historical care and development of the natural component of the streets was involved, which is now being managed in terms of management, expertise and communication. The greenery management department at TSK is now full of experts, and the CDSw greenery application, which functions as a passport and maintenance planner, has also been put into operation. “Greenery in the streets stabilizes a more favorable microclimate, and its importance is indisputable after several really dry and hot summers. The view of the care of street greenery is changing, withering trees in poor condition do not require us to function, and therefore we approach their management more responsibly than before,” said Deputy Mayor for Transport Adam Scheinherr (Prague itself) in a press release.

Website visitors will learn about new plantings and lawn mowing. You will get to know other objectives of TSK in the area of greenery as answers to the most frequently asked questions. “TSK explains new procedures and technologies for planting new rows of trees and caring for them and the existing greenery. The site visitor has the opportunity to learn more about the method of choosing suitable trees and other greenery and will also find a list of recommended articles on the issue of trees in cities,” said municipality spokesman Vít Hofman in a press release.
“Presentation of our work to the public has been lacking so far. We are aware that we have to respond flexibly to the conditions in which street greenery in Prague grows today, and not decades ago, because our expectations today have also changed,” said the chairman of the board of TSK Filip Hájek, adding that TSK Prague green management is slowly learning to play the role of a leader and promoter of new procedures instead of the traditional role of a “scumbag”.
