[EVENT] The Rebuilding of Prague

While war rages on in the Slovakian portions of Czechoslovak territory, the firefights die down somewhat in Czechia as order is restored domestically and the last vestiges of the Communist fifth column continue to be sought out.

However, there is still a massive problem independent of Slovakia. Massive amounts of Prague are bombed out, shelled, or otherwise destroyed, largely due to artillery-heavy tactics used by the Communist side. The Prague Old Town, nestled south of the Vltava river, was especially decimated, due to its position at the center of Democratic resistance, with Vitkov Hill serving as the last bastion of the defense, and much of the center simply burned out from fires caused by high explosive shells.

With the Desolation of Prague largely having ran its course, it is time to begin the rebuilding process. This not only has economic and practical considerations, but social ones as well, as Prague is the beating heart of the Czechoslovak dream and its indivisible capital. It will be rebuilt in a manner that both honors the historical heritage of the Czech peoples and the modern aspirations of Czechoslovakia against all obstacles, a phoenix rising from the carnage brought on by the Communist rebels.

Concepts of street hierarchy will be applied as part of a broader redesign of the Prague inner city. Arterial roadways at the national speed limit will run around it and through Narodni Road, with hierarchical subdivisions between them. High-density housing and commercial units will be built, creating sections of easily walk-able city where workers and family can live and work in, while passenger bridges will link walking routes across the one or two major throughfares, making the entire city walkable in some capacity. Marshall Aid funding will be useful in encouraging the revitalization of these areas and attracting new residents of a taller Prague.

While most constructions will be modern in style and higher-density, structures such as the gothic cathedral of Our Lady Before Týn and the Prague Philharmonic of cultural value damaged in the fighting will be reconstructed according to their original design due to their significance to the national character.
