Criterion (ii): The Historic Centre of Prague admirably illustrates the process of continuous urban growth from the Middle Ages to the present day. The integrity of the Historic Centre of Prague is threatened by the pressure of the developers wishing to build oversized new buildings in the historic centre and its buffer zone. With the exception of Prague Castle, heritage preservation on the whole territory of the Historic Centre of Prague is provided by the municipal authority of the City of Prague. The buffer zone of the Historic Centre of Prague is identical to the protective zone of the urban heritage reservation under the current regulations. the Historic Centre of Prague and the Průhonice Park, is currently under preparation.
