Charles IV: Architectural Legacy and Modern Urban Historic/Heritage

charles_iv_architectural_legacy_and_modern_urban


Prague owes the foundation of its New Town, the largest urban planning project of the medieval period, to king Charles IV.

What were the international influences behind his ingenious spatial concept which prepared Prague for the demands of the 21st century? What is the essence of the sustainable urban space? How can heritage help to deliver regeneration, support enterprise today and involve and benefit communities?

A panel discussion chaired by Ros Kerslake, Chief Executive of The Prince’s Regeneration Trust. With Dave Chetwyn, Managing Director of Urban Vision Enterprise CIC and Chair, Historic Towns Forum; Zoë Opačić, Senior Lecturer in the History and Theory of Architecture, Birkbeck College, University of London; Karel Maier, architect and lecturer at Czech Technical University Prague, a specialist in urban planning and sustainable spatial development.

Part of a series of events celebrating the 700th anniversary of the birth of Czech King and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV (1316–1378) organised by Czech Centre London, Czech Tourism, The Friends of Czech Heritage, Czech National Trust and Embassy of the Czech Republic in London.
