Prague has been the political, cultural, and economical centre of the Czech state for more than 1100 years. The city is home to about 1.3 million people, while its metropolitan area is estimated to have a population of over 1.9 million. Since 1992, the extensive historic centre of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. In Prague there is a very strong sense of history, tradition, and restoration on the one hand and vibrant, dynamic openness of change and innovation on the other hand. One side tends to keep, maintain, and stifle; the other side tends to reject, change, and destroy. Prague is therefore an interesting site to explore new strategies which accept the duality of tradition and innovation.
