Abstract This chapter describes results of pilot actions in Prague. Two different
pilot areas were selected (Legerova street and Bubny-Holesovice quarter) with different modelling approach. Finally, the Green belt around Prague is studied as well.
Different scenarios are tested and their results discussed. The matter of air quality is
also analysed.
