Rohan City

Rohan City is the name of a planned neighborhood on the former Rohan Island located at the borders of the Prague neighborhoods of Karlín, Invalidovna, and Libeň. The project will be an extensive revitalization effort including apartment buildings and administrative complexes, which will also contain spaces for public facilities and services. The planned location also includes space for a school building. The element uniting the project will be a kilometer-long promenade on the right bank of the Vltava planned along the route of the current A2 riverside bicycle path. This promenade will create a fluid transition between urban structure and the green recreational area of an extensive park that will be built along the bank of the Vltava River.

The overall design saw contributions from world-famous Danish urban designer Jan Gehl and architect Eva Jiřičná. The Sekyra Group is the project’s investor, at a total of more than 18 billion CZK (more than 7,3 million EUR). Rohan City will provide housing and offices for approximately 13 thousand people. Construction of all phases is expected to be completed by 2035. The urban planning study for the new neighborhood between the Libeň Bridge and Karlín was prepared by Pavel Hnilička Architekti and approved by the Prague City Council.
