The Master Plan of the City of Pilsen is a document which, in accordance with the city’s basic urban planning strategy and system of transport, technical infrastructure and environmental stability, responds to socio-economic conditions, ownership relations and other factors. The Master Plan divides the city into separate areas and zones and defines their possible functional uses. These possible uses are laid down in functional regulations for the relevant type of area and zone. It is therefore possible to define the basic possible uses of each plot of land in Pilsen.

The Master Plan of the City of Pilsen was approved by Pilsen City Council Resolution No. 114 on October 19, 1995, and the binding part thereof was promulgated in the binding Decree No. 9/1995 of the Chartered City of Pilsen, on the Binding Parts of the Master Plan of the City of Pilsen. The document is updated once every two years in the form of amendments to the Master Plan of the City of Pilsen.

The current wording of the Master Plan of the City of Pilsen is effective from November 1, 2010.
