Description
This book traces the development of Střešovice, from workers’ cottages to the villa elegance of the First Republic, from Dejvice to Petřiny and from prehistoric times almost to the present day. The district’s rural past blends with the grand villas of the interwar period, while historian Renáta Kalašová follows its gradual transformation, culminating in the turbulent changes of the 19th and 20th centuries. Drawing on extensive visual material, the book explores the everyday lives of local inhabitants, the development of the built environment and the social differences that emerged in Střešovice after the creation of Greater Prague during the First Republic. Estates, churches, villas, colonies, institutions, sport, pubs and community life all feature in this richly illustrated history of the Prague district.
