Current Affairs Prague EU housing ministers meeting addresses future of high rise flats
The percentage of people living in high rise flats in former Eastern Bloc countries such as the Czech Republic is twice as high as in the 15 "old" European Union states. Indeed a full 40 percent of Czechs live in prefabricated flats, known as panelaks, many of which are in bad repair and in need of major investment. The future of high rise flats was the theme of a Prague meeting of EU housing ministers, hosted by the Czech Republic's local development minister, Jiri Paroubek. He spoke to me at the close of the conference on Tuesday.
