Obchodní centrum Aréna v Plzni

ARÉNU NE! aneb Jsme proti OC Aréna v Plzni!
Shopping centre Aréna designed by architectional studio Hangar from Karlovy Vary should be build in 2011 – 2013 on properties where is at this time found "Dum kultury Inwest". Properties were bought by developer company Amadeus Real Ltd., which let her adhesive steps already in Prague, Brno, Liberec or Usti nad Labem, in more or less sucesfull architectional design and now it goes to attack Pilsen by a huge plan of a new shopping centre (contained 30 000 m2 of business place), which brings a new standard of shopping. The question is whether a new shopping centre is needed in Pilsen. There is found over 250 000 m2 of business places in the city, which are too responsible to cover the usage of all citizens of Pilsen and also wide surroundings.

Building of shopping centre Arena will bring to the place only one - business function without any other change of currect, very well and much used, unfortunately a little bit old-fashioned house of culture. Althought maybe it could seem, that there are no other substitutes and available other halls - there are many, but contrary is the case. „Dum Kultury Inwest“ despite it´s old age provided and still provides it´s capacity not replaceable multifunctional places for organizing graduation balls, concerts, exhibitions, lectures and other cultural events, which made a make an important part of culture in the city of Pilsen. Demolition of „Dum kultury Inwest“ and building of shopping centre Aréna is no solution – because these places and possibilies to organize such events in a place near the city centre will be destroyed!

4th March 2010 Update – this day an article in newspaper was published, which informs that the company Amadeus Real receded (went out) of the aim of building shopping centre Aréna, however that the building of all area is still just one of three possibilities, which is planned by the company on it´s properties. What solution the company plans as final is not clear at this. So there is either the internet version or written version of petition still current.
