Value description
A globally accessible city is well connected with the surrounding world via high-quality, high-capacity and reliable transport and communication infrastructure. The term "global" refers to the need to connect Brno with the metropolises located in (Central) European and global space (such as Prague, Vienna, Bratislava, Munich, Berlin, etc.) and also includes a reference to hierarchically superior transport and communication routes (such as air routes, motorways, high-speed lines, global data networks, etc.).
Contribution to the city
Good accessibility of the city and its metropolitan region is important for an efficient and reliable functioning of all components of its life, especially for the metropolitan economy, scientific structures, and for all other socio-economic activities, as it allows maintaining and developing the necessary contacts. Its expression is the easy reach of the city and its surroundings for all people arriving here or departing from here (residents, commuters, investors, entrepreneurs, tourists, scientists and others).
