The subject of the competition was the elaboration of an urban study on the unstabilized area of Tepna. ÚS will be entered in the register of spatial planning activities. Nová Tepna is to be a showcase of urbanism in the Czech Republic and a proof of the ability of the public sector to solve complicated post-industrial areas in the centers. The aim is to create a lively and citizen-appreciated part of the city adjacent to the historic center, which, however, will not compete with it, but will take over some of the functions that threaten it.
26 teams submitted their proposals to the competition, of which the jury selected five, which were given a chance to finalize their proposals and win one of the prizes. The jury evaluated the proposals anonymously, which means that they did not know who the authors of the proposals were all the time. 26 teams = 160 architects, urban planners, landscape painters and engineers, who together dedicated 75,000 hours of work to the Náchod competition.
