The Hamburg/Berlin duo, which has filled Roxy to the top each time they performed in Prague, is bringing a live performance this time. They will perform at Roxy on November 12. Kollektiv Turmstrasse is a project initiated by the musicians Nico Plagemann and Christian Hilscher from Luebeck, Germany. The duo’s musical style can be broadly labeled as minimal techno. It was in 1998 when the two boys hung out together and decided to form a collective, back in Hamburg, on the Turmstrasse street. Their first tracks were inspired by early Detroit-Techno and Acid House, which changed into dubby groove techno-like releases by Raummusik, Mosaik, and Basic Channel. They turned into the main activity and resulted with their first release in 2001 on electronic parliament. Today, they stand behind a spree of legendary tracks, EPs, and albums, which got them as far as Solomun’s Diynamic label, for example. The duo has performed at such festivals as Melt, Homerun, Off Week and Distortion.
Papundekl Architects has turned a former car workshop in Prague into a bar and events space with a brutalist slant. Situated just south of Prague‘s scenic downtown district, Vršovice has transformed from blue-collar neighbourhood into a notable hipster area in recent years, and it’s a trend that has yet to see the end. Adding to the many bars and clubs that line the streets here is the newly opened K7.club with its street side bar. Designated as a community hub, and an aptly cool one at that, the venue occupies 133 sqm. ground floor space of an early 20th-century residential building and features an interior design by local architecture practice Papundekl. The venue, formerly a car repair shop, sees three distinct areas—an elongated bar, an elevated lounge and event space, and a private club space at the back. At the core, an open space for screening, restrooms, and the back end of the aforementioned bar can be found, all in an understated industrial style. Also, the façade has been slightly modified and now sees a doorway which has been slightly extended to match the window’s upper level and provide a greatly improved balance visually. As K7.club serves as a multifunctional space where various cultural events are...

From November 1, Pražská plynárenská will increase the price of its natural gas by an average of 24.6 percent. The company has justified the increase due to the unfavorable market situation. According to the company, “unfavorable and turbulent developments in the wholesale markets” are unparalleled in recent years, and the price of natural gas has multiplied in the last year. Despite the continuous rise in natural gas prices throughout the year, Pražská plynárenská had previously tried not to pass on the consequences of this situation to its customers. “However, this is unsustainable in the current situation in the long run,” said the company spokesman Miroslav Vránek. The price increase will not affect clients with fixed prices, but it must be considered by households and small customers, who now use the basic Standard price list. Pražská plynárenská has long been one of the largest domestic energy suppliers. It supplies gas and electricity to about 425,000 consumption points. The sole shareholder of the company is Pražská plynárenská Holding, controlled by the capital city of Prague.
Prague 9 will soon have a modern city district that combines opportunities for living, working, and entertainment. On 19 October, the Mayor of Prague 9 Tomáš Portlík revealed this news, sharing that the city will acquire land from Howden ČKD Compressors to create a brand-new neighbourhood in Vysočany. As TheMayor.eu reports, The modern district will offer houses, offices, shops, and public buildings such as schools. More specifically, it will feature 3,500 apartments and numerous services on an area of approximately 10 hectares. In addition to this, the city will establish the Emil Kolben square in the heart of the district. The name of the square will allude to Prague 9’s industrial past and honour the late 19th and early 20th century industrialist, Emil Kolben. An interesting strategy Wanting full control of the development, Prague 9 will buy the land and create urban planning for it. After this, it will sell it to developers once the urban planning study is complete. In this way, the city will have the opportunity to fully manage the development of the district. It is interesting to note that Portlík has reportedly drawn inspiration for this strategy from Hamburg, where the local mayor purchased land to create HafenCity....
The anniversary of the Velvet Revolution takes place on November 17, with street exhibitions, light installations and audiovisual projections gracing Národní třída. The organizers behind the celebration are planning a cultural program, with theater performances and debates, at the site of the police violence against students in 1989. In accordance with last year’s example, the event will also be transferred to an online environment. The eighth year of the celebrations of freedom known as Korzo Národní will return to the public after pandemic safety measures. Given the changing situation around COVID-19, the organizers compiled the program so that visitors did not gather in large crowds for individual activities. “This year is a promise for us to return to normal. People will be able to enjoy the program directly on Národní třída during November 17, just as they were used to in the past. We will also offer several ways to celebrate the anniversary from a distance,” organizer Lucie Bílková said. The event planners involved intend to transform Národní třída into a living gallery space for the anniversary. Their agenda includes an outdoor projection regarding the current political situation in Belarus. Visitors can visit street exhibitions or take part in educational...

European finals of the global startup competition Startup World Cup were a part of Prague’s event Startup World Cup & Summit. This SWCSummit was entirely conquered by the Czech projects Tatum and Readmio. The first offers a platform that revolutionizes blockchain creation. The second project makes reading more attractive to children through a mobile application by complementing storytelling with sound effects in real-time. Startup Tatum won the main prize of the jury and the title of European champion with it. Readmio stole the hearts of the spectators and won the audience prize. Both projects continued their successful journey from the previous day when they also dominated the regional competition of the Visegrad Four region. During the continental finals, nine startups from all over Europe fought their way out of other regional rounds and associated startup competitions. Each project had four minutes for its presentation, followed by another four minutes of questions from the jurors. This time, a five-member jury admits to having a hard time determining the winner. “In the regional round of V4, the victory of the Tatum project was unequivocal. In the continental final, however, we considered other candidates until the last second – for example, in the...
According to the Association of Transport Companies, the cost of energy rising significantly by hundreds of millions next year, meaning that the increase in transport fares is possible. They also say that the operations of urban public transport are also at risk due to these higher energy prices. The association says that there is a risk the energy supplies could terminate the current contracts. Therefore the cost of transport in larger cities, mostly Prague, will be increasing in the following years. “Next year, we will pay about 60 percent more for electricity than this year, but with our volumes, this means an additional 560 million crowns. Another negative impact is the rise in oil prices,” says Petr Witowski, the head of the Prague Transport Company (DPP). This is although DPP secures electricity from the Prague Energy Exchange in the form of ongoing purchases of smaller volumes.” Thanks to this purchasing policy, we can compensate for smaller and predictable fluctuations in electricity prices in the markets. However, since August, the electricity market has been completely unpredictable,” says Witowski. Trying to find a solution for the situation on the energy market the largest alternative energy supplier Bohemia Energy has already ended in...

Clean air, pure water, pedestrian-only streets, bike paths, parks, botanical gardens and other public green spaces, green trains, eco-hotels, rivers, lakes, hiking trails, good public transportation and quality vegetarian dining are all among the environmental strides towards sustainable tourism now implemented by some of the most beautiful capitals of the world. In Europe, from Finland and Slovenia to Italy and France, many cities are making efforts to tackle the climate crisis and assume the lead on environmental action. Cities such as Grenoble and Budapest have mayors elected with eco-platforms and are leaders in sustainability projects. To determine its new list of 20 Best Green Capitals in Europe, the European Best Destinations (EBD) organization considered criteria including air and water quality, public transport with zero CO2 emissions, green spaces per inhabitant, percentage of people who walk, cycle or take public transport to work, quality of life and the number of kilometers of cycle paths.
