Nové Dvory, Prague 4/Prague 12

Residential neighbourhood by the new metro station
With an approximate area of 15 hectares, the transformation area of Nové Dvory numbers among the city‘s largest contiguous property holdings. Prague is building a new urban district around the new metro station, which should be completed in 2029, with affordable rental housing and complete amenities in the form of a nursery and primary school, a cultural centre, space for shops and services, public transport lines and facilities for sport and relaxation. By connecting the park Jalodvorská louka with the new squares, generous amounts of public space intended for recreation will be created. It is anticipated that the new neighbourhood will provide homes for as many as 5 000 people and job opportunities for about 5 000 more.

Nové Dvory territorial study
The studio UNIT architekti produced a territorial study on the whole transformation area for the Prague City Hall Spatial Planning Department, which was discussed with representatives of Prague 4 and Prague 12, presented to the public and approved in September 2022. It represents a societal consensus on the area‘s development and is the basic conceptual starting point for planning out the whole locale and individual projects. It is based on principles of sustainable development and a compact city of short distances with quality public spaces, parks and recreational areas.

First projects
Investment project preparations are gradually beginning on 15 hectares for nearly 300 000 m² of GFA (gross floor area, which is the total potential for approval of discussed land use plan changes), primarily for urban housing. A significant portion, currently estimated at about 130 000 m², will also be earmarked for offices, restaurants, cafés, shops and services, a nursery, primary and secondary school, a cultural or community centre, and sports grounds. Preparations for the new district are taking place in parallel with preparations for construction of a new metro station and extension of the tram line from Modřany, which will end at the metro.
Last year, PDS issued a call for tenders for the supplier of project documentation for a smaller apartment building Jalový dvůr. The locale is divided up into individual projects, which will be implemented gradually over a period of 10 to 15 years. In the same year, PDS also issued a call for tenders for a volumetric verification study for Project 09 – Durychova
Apartment Building, and a verification study for development above the metro station. In 2023, PDS will unveil further sub-projects for Nové Dvory, as well as a physical model of development in the district, on which it is collaborating with students of Czech Technical University‘s Department of Building Theory under the Faculty of Architecture.
