In the period 2013–2015 Ostrava plans to build a further 51 kilometres of cycle routes, creating a direct unbroken link between the city and the Beskydy mountains to the south.

New buildings at the Ostrava Science and Technology Park Ostrava’s Science and Technology Park currently has two buildings (Piano and Tandem), offering around 5 500 m² of leasable space. Both buildings are regularly full to around 96–100 % of capacity, and the Park is no longer able to meet demand for larger premises. This is not only an obstacle to the Park itself; it is also preventing the region from fulfilling its strong potential for innovative business and enterprise.

From May 2013 to the middle of 2014, thousands of new trees will be planted in Ostrava – lime trees, maples, plane trees, oaks, birches, and various types of bush and shrub, all of which will help to reduce atmospheric pollution levels. The planting will take place as part of four separate projects, and will cost a total CZK 37 286 000. The majority of the cost (90 %) will come from EU funding, with the rest provided from the City’s budget. Thanks to a public tender announced by the City, the final cost will be almost 60 % lower than originally anticipated.
