The development project followed by the urban sketch of selected area of Prague-Hradčanská was created during the City Development workshop organized by FA CTU in Prague. The concept comes from the positioning of the lot on important traffic arteries near the residential area of Dejvice and also from the relation to the PragueCastle from which arise myriad potential needs which as yet are not met on site. We took the project to be an actual and symbolic route to the castle. A common station on site serves as a traffic junction for an underground line, high speed train from the airport, tram lines, bus lines and trains. For the local residents we propose a shopping center, which is lacking in the area, as well as new apartments. Hotels, restaurants, a business center and congress center should exist for the airport-center connection (business and tourism). Thanks to the excellent transit connections, we also propose office buildings. The hotels will offer their amenities to the public. Beneath the whole structure a car park is proposed.
