SuperMost – SuperCetrum: Revitalization of the city center
The city of Most is announcing SuperMost – SuperCentrum, its third and largest competitive dialogue. It will focus on the overall revitalization of the center of Most. We are looking for a team of architects and urban planners who, in cooperation with the city, will design a concept for a new city center – from the urban framework to specific proposals for public spaces. The team that submits a contemporary opinion on how to reconstruct public spaces, positively regulate the city center, animate the area, and actively involve citizens in shaping the image and future of the city of Most will be selected.
The aim is not only to improve the physical environment, but also to bring life, community, and creative energy back to the center. The center will become an engine of change, a tool for reversing unfavorable trends in the development of a city whose identity was originally defined by brown coal mining, attracting new residents and supporting professional diversity. We are looking for solutions that will slow down population decline, enhance the city's attractiveness for creative professions and new business ventures, and support the positive functioning of urban life.
