Prague
Prague on the banks of the Vltava River.
Since the 1950s, Prague has located or relocated industrial districts and warehouses to its outskirts as part of a deliberate decentralization plan. The primary objective of this strategy is to provide increased job opportunities in the vicinity of new residential areas, which helps to reduce the pressure on the city’s central core.1
