    • A wider pavement and a new line of trees referring to Bedřich Wünscher‘s design creates a new rhythm in the street space. New trees also make siting on the bench encompassing the whole park more pleasant, however, the bench provides for much more activities. It is followed by an extended stairca­se in the middle of the southern part of the park, which offers a comfortable entrance into the park.

    • The new paved area in front of the town hall creates a sizeable square that can be used for regular markets, weddings or other events.



    Charles Square is a place for meeting and needs a defined area for selling refreshments and other daily needs. From this perspective, the new park centre will be the multi-functional fountain area and café at the southern end, where the city meets the interior park landscape.


    Gardening tradition from the nineteenth century rendered in contemporary language. Flower beds in the central part will function as a colourful garden ac­cording to modern principles.Just as in Thomayer‘s time, temporary exhibiti­ons will feature the latest trends in horticulture.


    • The northeastern edge of the square now has an expanded sidewalk paved with Prague mosaic, an alley of trees along the axis of the town hall tower, and longitudinal two-way benches. When strolling along the promenade, openings onto the park interior alternate with landscaped lilac stands.
