Praha - The old train freight station in Žižkov will be replaced with a brand new quarter.

Žižkov´s town hall has been planning to change the quarter but the final version of the plan has caused furore among the town hall politicians.

The Green Party representative Ondřeje Růt says the plan has been altered in last minute.

"The original intention was to build a park and now they want to build 20-floor buildings. The design does not include any park or trees, neither public services nor school. Its is going to be just full of buildings, no free space," said Ondřej Růt.

However, Civic Democrats´ Ondřej Pecha argues that the urban plann is a result of long-term negotiations between the developers and the town hall. He also says it is not a new version of the plan.   

"It was an agreement between the town hall and the investor with whom we agreed on a compromise solution," said Pecha.

"The requirements for the green are included. We have not cut down anything," added Pecha.

The Greens however claim that unlike the orginal plan of 8,000 people, the new homes should accomodate 13,000 people, which is an increase by one fiith.

"The number of inhabitants is hard to predict," said Peach.

All Prague municipalities have been compiling their ideas and proposals how to develop the city of Prague. They are to send these to Prague's city council  that is to draw the urban development plan of Prague with the help of the proposals. Soon the city of Prague will undergo major changes in some localities.
