In the hands of mayor Jan Vitula and architect Pavel Jura, the South-Bohemian town of Židlochovice seems to be thriving lately. One recent fruit of this collaboration was the new community center right next to the town hall, which replaced three decrepit private houses. The Center is organized around a series of inner courtyards and passages. Flanking the south side of the main courtyard is the medium-sized multipurpose social event space, opposite the open barn structure for wedding receptions and other celebrations. A short bridge links the Center to the town hall. This practical connection meant that several town hall offices found their way into the Center's upper floor. The town hall's growing office space requirements could be seen as a byproduct of all the construction activity evident elsewhere around town. Židlochovice already finished its new train station, revitalized the bus station, opened a new public park and built a stormwater wetland. Next in line, a sustainable residential neighborhood and a sponge park along the Svratka riverfront. Clearly, keeping an eye on Židlochovice in the next few years is a good idea.
