The City Hall of Prague 8 will have a study of the development of the Invalidovna housing estate prepared. The document will propose its development and will include, among other things, analyzes of transport, definition of the territory’s values and its problems, or maps of greenery and property relations. The aim is to preserve the genius loci of the housing estate and ensure sufficient public facilities. The decision was made yesterday by representatives of the city district.
The town hall will work with local residents on the study and will be ready by the end of October this year. The housing estate is a so-called development site and construction is planned. The Invalidovna housing estate is located on the eastern edge of Karlín and was established between 1959 and 1967.
According to the document approved by the deputies, the study will contain regulatory elements that define the current urban and architectural values of the housing estate and its surroundings. It will also provide a suitable urban solution for the area of Bohemia where construction is planned.
The document will be divided into three parts. The first will be analytical, where the current state will be described and the problems of the given area will be defined. The second will be the graphic part with photos and maps. Property rights or technical infrastructure will also be included. The third will be the so-called design part, which will outline the further process and development of the housing estate.
The deputies already addressed the fate of the housing estate at the February meeting, when they decided to set up a working group across all parties. Its members are not only representatives of all parties, but also locals. The result of the negotiations is today’s decision by the representatives to create a development study.
There are several development projects for the large area of Invalidovna. The development is proposed for the part belonging to the Karlín area in Bohemia, investors are planning houses in Sluncová along the railway line, and the National Theater, which is planning to build workshops.
