Industrial rail yards and factory halls once covered most of Vysočany's flat terrain east of the Vltava. ČKD, the engineering conglomerate that built locomotives, trams, and heavy machinery, operated its main production facilities here from the late 19th century until the post-1989 restructuring closed or sold off most divisions. The district has since undergone one of Prague's more visible transformations, with office parks, residential towers, and the O2 Arena replacing much of the former industrial landscape.
About 17,500 residents live in Vysočany, which spans the area between Libeň to the west and Hloubětín to the east in Prague 9. Metro Line B serves the district at Vysočanská and Kolbenova stations, connecting it to the city centre in roughly 15 minutes.
