Prague at EXPO REAL: virtualization and data platform as key elements of Smart Prague concept

Prague is set to present at Expo Real 2018, above all, the news in the Smart Prague concept the key elements of which are the Prague Virtualization System and the 3D data model with the aim to provide a tool for more effective management of the city in many areas (such as impacts of the construction and development plans in the context of surrounding buildings, noise propagation, traffic optimisation or modelling of urban development impacts). Visitors will be able to see for themselves how the model works at the stand using virtual reality headsets. The basic cornerstone of the Smart Prague concept is Golemio Data Platform which Prague is also ready to present. Its goal is the effective management of key areas in Prague infrastructure with an aim of improved living conditions for inhabitants and visitors as well as cost savings across various city operations. Last but not least, Prague is set to present a joint project between the capital city and Charles University: Kampus Hybernská (Hybernská Campus), which aims to connect the wide public and cultural projects with the university activities in the environment of modern infrastructure in the historical centre of Prague. The project is divided into two stages: the first of them (short-term stage), known as “Hybernská Is Coming Alive”, has been afoot since March 2017 to restore a property at 4 Hybernská Street, which has been long useless, through educational, creative and cultural activities (festivals, exhibitions, conferences etc.). It is envisaged that a modern complex of buildings for the University of the 21st century will be developed during the second, more ambitious stage.
