What is Efficient Management of Cities

The municipalities development planning consists of two main streams—the spacial planning and the strategic planning—intents, objectives, and tactics of which are coordinated with various successes and outputs. The strategic planning has been implemented into the East European municipalities' management since the end of the 1990s. It had to respond to many oncoming circumstances. Economic, security, environmental, and other crises, both national and global, occurred. But the COVID-19 disease pandemic has brought wholly new challenges in the life management in the societies all over the world. The chapter intends to investigate how the value priorities within the municipalities strategic objectives changed during the pandemic, taking the Czech Republic (one of the European COVID-19 most affected countries) as an example.
