"Thanks to its location, the former military barracks building is of strategic importance for the development of the entire locality and the connection of Karlín to the centre of Prague. Another important step towards the revitalisation of the area is the restoration and glazing of the neighbouring Negrelli Viaduct, where we are currently preparing a test run," says Petr Hlaváček, Deputy Mayor for Territorial and Strategic Development.
The Council of the Capital City. At Monday's meeting, the Prague City Council approved a follow-up plan in which it ordered the city's contributory organisation, the Prague Development Company, to prepare an analysis of the usability of the Karlín Barracks by the end of September 2024.
