The U Bulhara intersection under the Prague Ring Road is a problematic spot. It serves as the obvious shortcut from the train station to Seifertova Street, yet its design does not reflect this importance. The crosswalks are dangerous and uncomfortable. The area is impassable and unattractive. That is about to change.

IPR Prague, in collaboration with the architectural firm ROHÁČ STRATIL, has developed a study that will improve conditions for pedestrians and cyclists. The space and conditions at the Naděje center will also be modified to better meet the needs of its operations and clients. Overall, the site will undergo a significant aesthetic transformation so that it is no longer a dark, dreary corner and people can pass through it with dignity and safety to wherever they need to go.

The main goal of the revitalization is to enhance the site itself, which is currently very neglected. The study proposes improvements to the space both functionally and visually. It incorporates interesting graphic elements, includes a pavilion for exhibitions, and also focuses on the “Naděje” low-threshold center, which is important to the city. Above all, it prioritizes pedestrians, for whom the journey from Žižkov to the city center will be more pleasant.
