Prague Institute of Planning and Development will continue to place chairs
and tables around the city to improve the quality of Prague’s public
spaces. The project was approved on Tuesday by the councillors at Prague
City Hall. At the moment, there are 430 chairs and 90 tables situated in
various squares and parks around Prague. According to the analysis carried
out by the Institute of Planning and Development, around 220,000 people
used the urban furniture in 2016. In the future, the institute plans to add
more municipal furnishing, such as portable bike stands and grills.

The average auction price of an item at Czech auctions increased to 57.000
crowns (over 2,000 euros) last year, the art investment website artplus.cz
informed on Tuesday. The price rise was fuelled by an overall surge in
sales at Czech auctions, which exceeded one billion crowns for the first
time in history. The overall turnover at Czech auctions in 2016 increased
by over 30 percent on the previous year to more than 1.25 billion crowns.
