Smichov City - South

The new area is urbanistically defined by the central pedestrian avenue that will be created on the site: in the north-south direction, it will connect the Anděl district with the newly built Prague-Smíchov terminal. This axis divides the entire area into two parts.

Perpendicular to it will be streets that will be a continuation of the original street system which will create space for new development with inner courtyards. 

There will also be two new urban parks: a quiet oasis and a multifunctional park with games and sports elements connected to the planned school. The emphasis throughout the district is not only on sufficiency of greenery, but also on its targeted placement based on model calculations and the inclusion of water features. This will help prevent the formation of so-called "heat islands" - areas that experience high temperatures during the summer months.

In order to make the area of Smíchov City stylistically diverse, several architectural studios participated in the design. The northern part between the future apartment buildings is being handled by MS plan. The southern part between the administrative buildings is covered by Austrian Baumschlager Eberle Architekten studio together with Czech Pavel Hnilička Architects + Planners. 

Given the location, extent of the site and its links to the surrounding area, the proposal has been coordinated with subsequent projects, especially the Prague-Smíchov terminal, the reconstruction of the Smíchov railway station and the construction of a new school. Thanks to this cooperation, this results in individual projects not work in isolation, but as one functioning whole.
