The public hearing on Depo Písnice took place

December 2025

The area on the border of Písnice and Kunratice, on the very southern edge of Prague, is set for significant transformation in the future. Today, this area has a predominantly industrial and agricultural character, consisting mainly of warehouses, production facilities, and fields. In the future, however, it is to become the terminal station of Metro Line D, accompanied by the creation of a new urban district. This requires a clear concept to guide the further development of the area — and it is precisely this concept, designed by PHAP, that we presented to the public this week.

The Department of Urban Development of the Prague City Hall is preparing the Depo Písnice and Surroundings Urban Study, whose main goal is to coordinate all existing interests and needs in the area and to establish rules for the conceptual development of the entire locality. The urban study proposes new residential, commercial, and recreational zones, including areas of public amenities, and their functional interconnection in relation to the future Metro D station. It outlines possibilities for the most suitable spatial arrangement of the new development around the future depot, metro station, and public transport terminal. Furthermore, it examines optimal ways of using the new development and its connection to newly proposed residential structures, with an emphasis on a balanced mix of functions and permeability throughout the area.

The area addressed by the urban study is located within the cadastral territories of Kunratice and Písnice, in the districts of Prague-Kunratice and Prague-Libuš.
