Vlasta Neighborhood, Residential housing complex in Prague 10, Czech Republic.
Vlasta Neighborhood is a housing complex in Prague with multiple apartment buildings arranged in an organized pattern and connected by pathways and central green spaces. The complex includes schools, medical offices, shops, and the municipal offices of Prague 10 integrated within its layout.
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 housing complex reflects the design thinking of 1970s socialist planning, with communal spaces that still serve as gathering areas for residents today. The wide pathways and green areas between buildings are where locals walk, chat, and spend time together.
The complex connects well to Prague's public transportation network, making it easy to reach from different parts of the city. Walking through the area is the best way to experience the layout and see how the buildings and spaces relate to each other.
Architect Vlastibor Klimes designed this neighborhood directly opposite the Koh-i-noor Waldes factory, placing two very different periods of urban development side by side. This unusual arrangement shows the contrast between industrial and modern residential spaces in the city.
