Urban plan of Mnichovice

Some 3,000 permanent residents are joined by more than 3,500 holidaymakers during the summers. The recent housing development often spreads chaotically and  without any concept taking up the agricultural land. The street plan is chaotic with a number of dead-ends.

We propose to orient the development of the town inwards to utilize its opportunities. We believe it is crucial to enforce the different character of indivual parts of the town – Mnichovice, Božkov and Myšlín – and to create a readable structure of the individual parts of the settlement: each location has its centre of gravity, with peripheries related to it. Our urban conception avoids further area expansion and building over the open landscape. We propose a compact and green town, emphasizing quality of public spaces.
