The area in question is the river floodplain at the confluence of the Berounka and Vltava rivers in Prague. Covering an area of more than 1,300 hectares, it spreads across five districts of the City of Prague and Černošice in Central Bohemia. Many private owners with variable, often conflicting intentions are represented there. The area does not have a clear development concept and the landscape is at risk of gradual degradation. Fortunately, the unifying “Together at the Confluence” platform was set up there, and local politicians decided to develop the area through the Confluence Periurban Park management tool. The vision is the gradual creation of a diverse, well-ordered and permeable landscape with a living river that is to integrate the economic and recreational activities of stakeholders, visitors and residents.
The concept of the Confluence Periurban Park presented in the design competition now serves as the basis for the subsequent drafting of the guide plan, the landscape revitalisation plan and selected sub‑projects. The concept was also presented at this exhibition in CAMP.
The Confluence Periurban Park project now provides the platform for discussion concerning the use of the territory and acts as a partner in the preparation of planning documentation. The Confluence as a pilot project of the Czech Republic will become one of the largest periurban parks in the countries of the former Eastern Bloc.
