In the next 10 – 20 years the residents of Prague will die earlier, will be affected by an increase in asthma or bronchitis and will suffer from diminished immunity. The Committee for the Environment of the Academy of Sciences claims that this will be the probable scenario if the green zones of the city continue to be destroyed. The scientists have for this reason strongly criticised Prague Council for the proposed changes to the urban plan.
