The Prague Agenda was launched with its first panel dedicated to the Metropolitan Plan—a document that will fundamentally shape the future form of the capital city.
The discussion addressed issues of compromise, height regulation, and housing affordability.
The panel featured:
- Ondřej Boháč (Director, IPR Prague)
- Tomáš Kadeřábek (Association of Developers)
- Roman Koucký (architect, author of the original version of the plan)
- Vít Máslo (architect)
- Jiří Plos (lawyer and adviser to the Czech Chamber of Architects)
It was stated that the plan will allow the construction of up to 350,000 new apartments and addresses key infrastructure projects. At the same time, sharp criticism was voiced regarding its current form—particularly concerning height regulations and interventions by state authorities. Is the Metropolitan Plan a necessity? Is it a compromise, or a diktat? And will it truly help improve housing affordability? Watch the full recording of the first Prague Agenda debate.
