Planning mobility in a fragmented metropolitan area
The case of Prague and its suburbs
A common urban mobility plan for Prague and its metropolitan region as well as the
creation of an integrated transport system coordinated by a central transport body
are the main assets Prague can leverage to enhance accessibility. However, weak links
to land use plans, the lack of enforceability of the mobility strategy, the absence
of a transport component in the urban renewal strategy, and the high level of administrative
fragmentation of the metro area limit the impact of the transport network in facilitating
access to jobs and services. This paper aims at drawing policy lessons from Prague’s
mobility strategy and suggesting recommendations that could improve its effectiveness
in enhancing accessibility.
