What would Prague’s streets look like if the city prioritized sustainable transport, greenery, and high-quality public spaces? A series of AI visualizations prepared by Prokop Hartl, the mind behind the Lepší Praha (Better Prague) Instagram account, seeks to answer this question. By focusing on specific locations in Prague, he demonstrates the significant difference that greenery, dignified sidewalks, and space for people—rather than parked cars—can make.
The visualizations present side-by-side comparisons: photographs of well-known locations in their current state next to AI-generated versions of how they could look. This allows people to imagine exactly what could fit into a given space. Interestingly, what the visualizations depict is neither technically complex nor financially out of reach. Trees, benches, paving, and bike lanes are features that other European cities implement as standard practice. A nearby example is the bicycle street completed in Vienna last year. Therefore, the question isn’t „is it possible?“ but rather „do we want it?“
Hartl’s project is neither a political manifesto nor a formal architectural study. Instead, it serves as an invitation to reflect on the immense potential held by Prague’s streets and how little it takes to make them look entirely different.
