Access to topics such as climate change, housing affordability, public spaces or city amenities is illustrated through floor projections. The panoramic wall moves Prague as we know it today through hand-painted animation.  In the second, White Hall, the draft Metropolitan Plan itself is presented in an updated version. Visitors can get acquainted with the documentation, ask specific questions to the acquirers and developers of the plan, or comment on the updated proposal on the spot.
