In Ujezd u Pruhonic, a fast-growing suburb on Prague's southern edge, homeowners frustrated by construction defects, altered development plans and a disputed school-director appointment are standing as candidates in the October 9-10 Czech local elections. Groups such as Ujezdske Forum Obcanu and Katerinky Sobe are pressing for greater transparency over how the municipality works with developers, including a 2021 deal in which it accepted a 5.31-million-crown (about 215,000 euros) contribution and dropped objections to 46 further homes. The case reflects a wider Czech tension: as high housing costs push Prague residents outward, small municipalities increasingly depend on private developers to fund schools and infrastructure, and must ensure the public interest is protected.
