Vlasta Neighborhood, Residential housing complex in Prague 10, Czech Republic.
Vlasta Neighborhood (Sídliště Vlasta) is a panel-built housing estate in Prague 10-Vršovice, laid out between Vršovická, Moskevská and Kirgizská streets, opposite the Koh-i-noor Waldes factory. Its core is five north–south blocks of four panel houses each along Uzbecká, Taškentská, Turkmenská, Tádžická, Kazašská and Kirgizská streets, with inner courtyards holding sculptures by Vendelín Zdrůbecký.
Construction took place from 1972 to 1977 as a response to resettling residents relocated from Milovice during a period of political transition. The project was part of a broader effort to create new housing in Prague during these years.
The complex's name comes from the Vlasta food hall that was part of the original 1968–1972 housing estate. The courtyards between the blocks hold sculptures by Vendelín Zdrůbecký, including Matka s dětmi, Akrobatka, Chlapec s modelem letadla and Mladí milenci, alongside the remains of sports and children's playgrounds.
The estate lies between Vršovická, Moskevská and Kirgizská streets, by the Praha-Eden railway stop and the Eden cultural house. Magnitogorská runs one-way west to east along the south side; Uljanovská passes under the southern walkway of the Vlasta building. The upper-floor terraces and passages are reached by several staircases and ramps, level with the ground at the eastern end.
The five north-south panel blocks along Uzbecká, Taškentská, Turkmenská, Tádžická, Kazašská and Kirgizská streets are addressed to the street on their west, not the one they touch on the east. The courtyards between them hold sculptures by Vendelín Zdrůbecký, including Matka s dětmi and Chlapec s modelem letadla.
