More than a mere prognostic vision, it was from the outset established and put together as a well thought-out, comprehensive and, above all, feasible strategy for Prague in the near future. It is a programme that we are ready to adopt together and that we intend to carry out with our joint efforts.

  • 1 Overview of Housing Affordability in Cities in the Czech Republic
    39 1 Overview of housing affordability in cities in the Czech Republic House prices in the Czech Republic have soared faster than household disposable income, especially in cities where house prices have often risen at a faster pace than the national average. While the rise in house prices may benefit the large share of Czech homeowners, it has made it even harder for newcomers, especially the young, to get a foot on the housing ladder. With rents also rising and with relatively limited supply, the private rental market offers few alternatives for people struggling to find affordable housing. Many low- and middle-income households are therefore getting priced out of cities, or have no choice but to turn to substandard quality housing. While structural drivers pushing housing demand up in Czech cities are likely to remain despite the COVID-19 crisis, housing development does not happen where it is most needed, i.e. where demand for housing is highest, driving house prices up in Czech cities. Furthermore, Czech households bear a heavy financial burden by living in cities where the housing stock is often old and in need of energy efficiency improvements. HOUSING AFFORDABILITY IN CITIES IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC © OECD 2021 40 Introduction As in many other OECD countries, many households in the Czech Republic are increasingly struggling to access a decent, affordable home, with house prices reaching new highs and incomes falling out of pace. This is especially the case for low-income households or households at risk of poverty, elderly people and single-parent families. The challenge of housing affordability is even more acute in cities and urban areas, where property and rental prices have often increased faster than in the Czech Republic in general and housing cost overburden and overcrowding rates are higher.
