Planning and Building of Jižní Město

(in English): This bachelor thesis describes the planning and building of Jižní Město (South City), the biggest Czech housing panel estate. This Prague housing estate set was complexly projected as a self- sufficient city which would provide its inhabitants besides various types of housing also job opportunities, all civic amenities, recreation or cultural activities. This work aims to analyse these ambitious plans and illustrate the then ideas of ideal housing, city and place to live, based on the Jižní Město project. Then the text of the thesis tries to compare and confront the original ideas of Jižní Město with their realized form and thus show in which compromises the initial ideals materialized. Furthermore, the work describes what the implementation of plans in practice encountered, how the construction took place, by what it was affected and why there were changes compared to the plans of architects. Based on this, the work tries to clarify which actors participated in the planning and building and who decided on the realization or non- realization of architectural plans
