The city of Prague will rename 21 streets, the majority of which are new or have never had a name.

For example, will be added Huppnerova or Stočesova street in Prague 6 and Cigánkova street in Prague 11.

The need for street naming emerged as a result of the construction of residential and family homes, but also to improve direction.

Because of the completion of large-scale home development, Na Výrovně, Hasilova, Bělohlávkova, Cazovská, or Toufarova streets in Řeporyje will be named, as will Pavel Bene, Jan Mikula, Jan Vlček, and Karel Dlouhý streets in Prague 18.

Ke Kaplance in Prague 6 will be renamed for better orientation.

The city council approves the naming or renaming of public sites. Suggestions can be submitted by anyone. Proposals are initially discussed by the appropriate district’s city council.

It is referred to the municipal localities commission after being approved by its administration. If they agree, it is then considered by the Prague City Council.

According to the law, public spaces cannot be named after live people.

In solidarity of Russia-invaded Ukraine, the city renamed a section of Coronation Street in front of the Russian embassy as Ukrainian Heroes during the previous administration.

Last year, Prague 3 requested that Konev Street be renamed Hartig Street after the first mayor of Žižkov, which has yet to happened.
