Running for HDK & TOP 09
A healthy city is a city where you can do sport. I want more publicly accessible sports facilities to be built in Hradec, not just ones that are part of schools or closed-off sites. In every larger part of the city, people should be able to use an outdoor pitch, a workout area or another space for exercise for free. Investing in sport is also investing in residents' health.
Public transport in Hradec needs restructuring. Today many journeys between different parts of the city are needlessly complicated, and connections often don't link up in a way that makes sense when you change. I want to push for clearer routes, better links between neighbourhoods and timetables set up so that changing really means a few minutes' wait, not half an hour. Public transport must be a fast and practical alternative to the car, not a hassle.
Young people should have a reason to stay in Hradec. Whether it's sport, culture, housing or opportunities to start their own business, the city should create conditions so that moving elsewhere isn't the automatic choice for them. I'd also like the city to listen to young people more and involve them in how Hradec develops from here.
My name is Max Novák and I've lived in Hradec Králové my whole life, except for a study stay in Portugal. I studied international relations at Masarykova univerzita in Brno, where I also got my bachelor's degree. I'm now continuing my studies at two universities – one in Hradec and the other in Prague.
I work in foreign trade for the renowned Hradec company PETROF. I speak Spanish, English, Portuguese, Russian and German.
I'm running because I believe I can bring experience and inspiration from my travels and from abroad to Hradec. At the same time I want to show that politics is also for young people who have clearly set values and want to take an active part in shaping what their city will look like.
