Strategic projects
Ostrava – where new stories begin. That’s the vision that the city plans to make a reality during the next years. Ostrava will be implementing a range of projects to help achieve this vision, creating an energized city that offers a high quality of life for all generations and attracts talented people to live and work here. Ostrava will become a confident European city – a city that’s closer to its people, to nature, and to the rest of the world.
