Conservationists to oppose giant wheel project in Prague

Conservationists will not approve the plan of Prague district 5 to install a giant wheel on the embankment of the Vltava River, the head of the Prague City Hall Heritage Department Jiří Skalický told the Czech News Agency on Wednesday. Prague 5 councillors plan to install a 60 metre wheel by the river in the Smíchov district and have already signed a deal with the investor to rent the proposed site. However, as part of the UNESCO world heritage list, Prague needs to get approval from conservationist to install such a huge construction in the city centre.
