Citizens were able to comment on every corner of Prague on an online map, highlighting the most popular places and identifying room for improvement in the urban fabric.
The map, which represents the opinions of nearly 6,000 respondents, shows the city’s safest, most dangerous and most popular places.

You can find the map for each district here.
