Ostrava plan to reduce anonymity and strengthen communities in priority neighbourhoods

 Czech word „Sídliště“ [seed:lish:tje] is primarily used to define neighbourhoods with high-rise or large housing estates built during the communist era between 1940s and 1990s as an important part of building plans. The goal was to provide large quantities of fast and affordable housing and to slash costs by using uniform designs of prefabricated concrete blocks over the whole country. 

Housing estates bear the legacy of socialist housing policy in terms of the social composition of the population and therefore a mix of different professions and social groups is preserved in housing estates. And even though, they are often said to be "mere dormitory communities with a few conveniences and even less character”, it is yet a common form of living for nearly 3 million Czechs.
