The two days wrapped with a meeting of the Pact of Free Cities – founded three years ago by the mayors of Bratislava, Budapest, Warsaw and Prague – and an EU cities dialogue.Īnd now a word about Prague. The host was the mayor of Prague, Zedenek Hrib, who in a piece of bad timing had fared poorly in weekend elections. Then in the afternoon there were open sessions at the Centre for Architecture and Metropolitan Planning (aka Camp), many of these moderated by me as Mr Monocle, to bring the same voices to a wider audience and to talk about how cities can deliver a high quality of life for all.

The Summit of Cities ran across Monday and Tuesday this week and included two mornings of closed sessions at the mayor’s residence, which Monocle attended with our jaunty observer hats on, to discuss how to support Ukrainian cities, the energy crisis and how to ensure that populists and tyrants don’t undermine European values. I almost felt sorry for the bodyguards who had travelled with him from Kyiv because he looked as though he could scoop them all up and place them in his pockets at the merest hint of trouble. Klitschko is vast, a fighter of international fame (both in the boxing ring and, now, out of it). But, let’s be clear, that’s where the comparisons end. Like me, Vitali Klitschko, the mayor of Kyiv, was in Prague to attend the Summit of Cities. I was just completing check-in at the hotel when he arrived.
