 | #1 Petr Kunc | Mayor of the Brno-Židenice district council on why officials are taking so long and how to improve the reputation of politicians We couldn’t start the third series of the podcast with anyone else but the mayor of the Brno-Židenice district Petr Kunc. Cooperation with both the City of Brno and the city district is an integral part of the construction of the Nová Zbrojovka complex. What’s standing in the way? Why does it take so long in the Czech Republic to approve one application? How do permit processes work and what sort of people should be in politics?

 | #2 Jan Růžička | Project Manager of Nová Zbrojovka and his opinion on the land development process | LIVE! A recording from the live podcast that took place in the Nová Zbrojovka area in front of the Kotelna. The guest was our project manager Honza Růžička, with whom we discussed the new building code, how long the permit processes take, how he perceives the changes in this area, how much it costs and what must be done and prepared in order for a project like Nová Zbrojovka to start developing and building. There were also exciting tidbits about apartments, cooperation with the City of Brno or why nothing has been built yet.

 | #3 Andrea Tkačuková (Foreigners) & Michal Hrbatý (UlovDomov) | What kinds of housing is coming up trumps? How is rental housing doing in the Czech Republic? Is the rental sector popular or do people prefer home ownership? Are there any permit processes or building codes that affect rental housing? Which tenants are the biggest problems? What are the current trends in rental housing? Are people looking for better equipped apartments and shorter stays or vice versa? And how much does it all cost these days? Answers to all these questions came from the most qualified guests: CEOs from Foreigners and UlovDomov!

 | #5 Vlastislav Novák | With the director of PK Ossendorf we fix Brno’s traffic problems (?) There’s nothing happening at Nová Zbrojovka, nothing to see, nothing’s being built, right? Vlastislav Novák, director of the Ossendorf Project Office, came to dispel this myth. They are designing our complete transport infrastructure at Nová Zbrojovka. The engineer and I therefore discussed what traffic in Brno is currently like and how it will be, why it’s not working in this particular city, where cyclists belong, what is holding up road construction, what is actually happening with the new zoning plan and what is the point of building a new city avenue through our area. And if you also want to know why you still can’t get from Brno to Vienna by motorway, then this is definitely the episode for you!

 | #6 Lukáš Hejlík | What will the city within a city look like and what’s the gastronomic scene in Nová Zbrojovka? Do we have a new food & drink consultant? We discussed with gastrospecialist and gastromapper Lukáš Hejlík how Brno’s gastronomic scene makes it unique and what businesses should therefore definitely be appearing in Nová Zbrojovka. Should we be supporting local companies or pursue Michelin starred restaurants and global brands? And how best to choose beer, wine, coffee, baked goods and food more generally? There was also talk about the functionality of Nová Zbrojovka, as a city within a city, how he perceives this future himself, and what new things he thinks Brno needs.

In this once again lively episode, you’ll learn, among other things, what he thinks about the current development of the Czech Republic, how he perceives the project Nová Zbrojovka and what he praises about it, what he’s accomplished from his election programme or what the lack of infrastructure in the Czech Republic is preventing.

 | #9 Alex Georgescu | Slow development helps sustain the area in long term (ENG) The first ever episode entirely in English. With the co-founder of the KOGAA architectural studio - with Alex - we discussed our mutual cooperation, what other projects KOGAA has in its portfolio, who’s destroying the City of Brno (drivers?), but what’s also great about Brno, whether a multifunctional hall in Brno makes any sense, what’s different about building permit processes abroad and what’s the future of our Kotelna and the importance of HEART.

 | #10 Battle of Brno’s gastronomic enterprises or Nová Zbrojovka inspects The final episode is definitely one of the most delicate in this series. We focused it on the topic closest to our, and also your, stomachs – gastro in Brno. It’s an integral part of the future development of our area. This time we moved from curating directly to confrontation. Mirek went on an inspection to four Brno businesses and certainly did not hold back his verdict. We then invited in representatives from these businesses and showed them the results of the inspection live. What do they say? Find out in the video.
