The topic is called "Locality behind Zetor" and will focus on the proposal of structure of a large locality "behind Zetor", which is partly unused by and is still mostly a greenfield. The ownership structure is very fragmented. The aim is to suggest the possible use of the whole site with regard to the needs of a modern city. It will be necessary to address the design of transport infrastructure and take into account the considered tram line. Teams are to propose a site-specific solution. This topic will be prepared for the Statutory City of Brno under the guidance of a lecturer from one of the local universities.
