Avia City is a development project in Letňany focused on the comprehensive transformation of one of Prague’s largest brownfield sites—a 66-hectare area formerly occupied by the Avia industrial complex. The project aims to revitalize this extensive site—situated on the border of the Letňany and Čakovice districts, where aircraft and motor vehicles were once manufactured—into a modern, vibrant, and green urban neighborhood. It is designed around the urban planning principle of “short distances,” ensuring that both current and future residents of Letňany and Čakovice have access to all essential civic amenities within walking distance.
Starting from 2022, the site went through one of the largest environmental decontamination and urban revitalization initiatives in the Czech Republic with a budget of CZK 2.5 billion.
In September 2026, the site was re-zoned from industrial use to mixed-use under the new Prague metropolitan spatial plan.
The Master Plan for the project which was prepared by the prestigious Czech urban planning and architectural firm, Jakub Cigler Architekti, includes land and capacity allocated for educational facilities: 5 kindergartens for 475 children, as well as a total capacity for 2,810 students across 2 primary schools and one high school. The specific design of these schools will be determined during the permitting process and through collaborative discussions between the city and the developer. A significant portion of the site—nearly 10 hectares—will be dedicated to new public parks. The project also plays a crucial role in the transport connectivity of the surrounding districts; the developer is prepared to provide the necessary land and coordination for the future construction of a tram line extending to the Čakovice train station, which will include the development of a new transport terminal and the modernization of related transport infrastructure. Additionally, the plan incorporates commercial spaces designated for social services and medical practices.
