SS 2025
Assignment
VISION AND COCNCEPT OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY OF KOLIN
Kolín is a historic industrial city located on the Elbe River and also on the main transit railway corridor from Prague to Pardubice and on to Moravia. Kolín has always been an important center of the central Polabí region. Due to the growth of the Prague metropolitan region and the speeding up and improvement of the railway connection with Prague, Kolín is also becoming highly attractive for daily commuting to work and services in Prague.
The importance of Kolín is growing exponentially and the city needs its new vision and concept of future urban development. This will be processed in the summer semester of 2024/2025 by the students of Ateliér Šindlerová / Urban Planning Studio. All student proposals, initiatives and ideas will be a fundamental basis for the city of Kolín for the elaboration of the new spatial plan of the city, which is being prepared in the coming years.
------------------------------------------------
The studio assignment will be processed in close cooperation with architect of the city of Kolín David Mateásko and with representatives of the city management.
Kolín is a model area for students of the Spatial Planning Module. >> Regular students will work together with Spatial Planning Module students who specialize in urban planning and spatial development planning to process assignments.
------------------------------------------------
Based on a visit to the city, a discussion with the city architect and representatives of the city hall, and after carrying out a comprehensive mapping and analysis of the current state of the city area, students (in a group) will be able to focus on processing one of the following profile topics of the future urban development of Kolín:
THE CITY AND THE RIVER: The Phenomenon of the City-River Relationship. A proposal for the inclusion of the Elbe River in the structure and life of the city, making the river more accessible to residents and visitors, including a solution for accessibility along the river.
