MALEŠICE-HOSTIVAŘ INDUSTRIAL AREA

All European cities have industrial areas. These locations are of key importance for the functioning of the city, as they form their technical and operational background. The Malešice-hostivař industrial area, with an area of 650 hectares, also plays this role for Prague. This organic industrial complex, planned as a highly specialized and purpose-built part of the city, faces new challenges in its organization, its use, urban planning and the quality of public space. On the other hand, in connection with the current housing crisis in Prague, consideration is being given to the transformation of this area and the construction of residential complexes. Prague must decide whether to keep this industrial area for its original purpose and strengthen its original function, or to convert it to another use.
