structuring the area's space according to the importance and operation of individual places; princely and royal acropolises as sacred ground; exclusion of automobile traffic on the acropolis; this results in the overall organization of traffic in the area

a larger and more diverse range of accesses from the city to Vyšehrad: a new pedestrian connection from the river - by elevator quickly and without barriers to the circular sightseeing route on the walls, not on the acropolis; an inconspicuous, intimate path from the power station in Přemyslova Street, along the suspension bridge to the gate in the wall...; climb the western slopes between tall tree trunks with a view of the city; climb new stairs between the drawbridges

easier permeability of the inner landscape of Vyšehrad: restoration of the gate to Štulcový sady; unlocking the gate to the moat; opening the gate to the "Jedlička Garden"; shortening the abutment and remodeling the terrain at the rotunda of St. Martin; punching a hole in the wall into the garden "at St. Lawrence"; adding a staircase
