Two benches with LED lamps and climbing plants have already been installed in Prague 6 (Dejvická and Hradčanská stops). Such lamp benches will help green the city, illuminate it, save electricity and become a place of rest for local residents. Supertrees at Gardens by the Bay in Singapore are an engineering marvel. They are equipped with solar panels and rainwater harvesting systems that are used for irrigation. The trunks are vertical gardens, and at the top of the trees, you can dine in a restaurant. Singapore’s Supertrees inspired Prague authorities to create the first green lamps in the city. The production of two five-meter structures cost about half a million crowns. The lamps will be tested for three years. “The Czech University of Agriculture asked us if it would be possible to test this lamp in an urban environment. Moreover, we already have several strategic projects regarding how the city should respond to future climate change, and one of these topics is greening,” says Ondřej Kolář, Mayor of Prague 6. “This supertree is also unique in the fact that it is inspired by foreign countries, namely Singapore, where there are illuminated lamps resembling a tree,” added deputy chairman Tomáš Novotný....
After an absence of nearly 40 years, trams are set to again run up and down Prague’s Wenceslas Square. The Prague Public Transit Company (DPP) is fulfilling the plan of returning trams to the upper part of Wenceslas Square. Today it launched a tender for the construction of a new tram line, the estimated value of the contract is CZK 1.25 billion. The Capital City Council gave the green light to the transport company for this project in January 2019. The construction should take a maximum of 48 months, DPP expects it to start in the first half of next year. Deputy Mayor for transport Adam Scheinherr says trams on Wenceslas Square should take the strain off other parts of the city’s transport network: “The new connection of the line from Vinohradská to Jindřišská and Vodičkova Streets should relieve the congested connections in the centre. Today’s tram system is too dependent on the section between Lazarská and Jindřišská.” At the moment, there is just one line passing through the city centre, and there are around 169 trams passing the line each day. The network is very crowded and when there are traffic jams or accidents, it can cause delays in...
Originally a fish shop, has expanded to become a popular restaurant in the centre of Prague’s old town, which owner Eva Boels says offers “the biggest variety of fish not only in Prague but in the entire Czech Republic”. Speaking to Prague Morning, Eva was keen to dismiss the idea that Prague is not an ideal location for seafood. “We are really best located in Europe,” she said, “because we are in the middle of Europe, we have access to fish left and right.” The restaurant buys from sellers in the Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain, Greece and Croatia. “Within 24 hours of a catch, you’ve got that fish on your plate,” she said. Due to its location amongst Prague’s tourist hotspots, “for a long time it was mostly tourists,” who ate at Blue Fjord,” she explained. But more recently, “the Czechs have started to understand [seafood[ a bit more.” “Czechs are thinking more about health, they want to be healthy and are not afraid to spend money for good stuff,” she said. Locals “are coming more and more”, she added, “and now more Czechs are even aware of the different types of fish we have.” In general, “customers always tell...
A new tram stop shelter was unveiled at the Stromovka stop in Prague 7 yesterday, and this one has an interesting twist: it was created using 3D printing technology, the first of its kind produced in the Czech Republic It was created using robotic 3D-printing technology from ultra-high-efficiency concrete (UHPC). Production took only 36 hours. “In addition to the speed of production, other important advantages are the minimal use of steel, which is currently in short supply, no need for maintenance, as well as countless opportunities to change the design, which allows creating a specific pavilion for a particular selected location”, the company said. The glass roof of the pavilion can change its illumination with the help of built-in LED diodes. The tram stop shelter was printed by the company So Concrete founded by the artist Federico Díaz and the co-owner of the development company Karlín Group Serge Borenstein.

The desecration of Jewish cemeteries under the communist regime of the former Czechoslovakia has been given official recognition with a new memorial fashioned from headstones that were carved up and used for paving stones in Prague. The Return of the Stones monument, consisting of 7 tonnes of broken tombstones, was unveiled on Wednesday in Prague’s old Jewish cemetery, which itself was partly desecrated to make a public park before becoming the site of the city’s soaring television tower. In the shadow of the 709ft (216-metre) tower, Karol Sidon, the Czech Republic’s chief rabbi, recited a Hebrew blessing for the new structure, which was commissioned by the local Jewish community after the cobblestones were dug up in Prague’s Wenceslas Square in May 2020 at the start of an extensive facelift. The paving stones are thought to have been made from headstones taken from Jewish cemeteries in the northern Bohemia region during the communist period, which ended in 1989 when the Velvet Revolution ushered in a new era of democratic rule. They were laid in Wenceslas Square in a pedestrianisation project carried out in preparation for a visit by the then Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, to Prague in 1987. Prague city council...
