Streets in the Smíchov City project will be named after prominent women. The central boulevard will commemorate Madeleine Albright
The streets of Smíchov City, the largest development project in Prague’s modern history, are to bear the names of important women who fought against totalitarianism in the 20th and 21st centuries. The kilometre-long central pedestrian boulevard will be named after Madeleine Albright, a prominent American politician of Czech descent, who was born in Smíchov. Sekyra Group, an investor in the Smíchov City project, wants to dedicate the new streets to the memory of outstanding women as less than five percent of streets in Prague are currently named after them. This idea was supported by the Prague 5 city district, the Václav Havel Library, and several other influential voices, including Madeleine Albright’s family. The proposal has already been approved by the Toponymic Commission and recommended to Prague City Council.
