Is Prague a hidden Detroit?

Guided walk with Josef Vomáčka on Wednesday 15 May 2024

  • meeting at 16:00 at the monument on Jungmann Square
  • the walk will take about 3 hours
  • registration and fee 100 CZK in advance – see application form
  • each participant will receive a sound device

The devastation and destruction of public spaces – cafes, lounges, restaurants, or biographers – is a symptom of the extinction of downtown; the lack of small-scale replacement is not saving Detroit (and especially Prague). An interesting and depressing walk through a dying city, with reminders of the literally criminal practices of the ruling class in the early 1950s in this area as well.
