Districts of Prague
Encyclopedia
Prague
has a local-government structure of two or three tiers, depending on the area of town. At the top is the Magistrate of the Capital City of Prague , which is responsible for public transport
; waste collection; municipal police
; firefighting; ambulance
services; cultural activities; care of historical sites; the Prague Zoo
; and other activities of citywide significance.
Since 1990, the city has been divided into 56 (since 1992, 57) self-governing municipal districts . The districts are responsible for parks and environmental protection
; ordering equipment for schools and volunteer firefighters; some cultural and sports activities; activities for seniors; some social and health programs; cemeteries; and collection of fees for dog tags and the like. Another important activity of the municipal districts is the ownership, maintenance and, sometimes, sale of public property, especially public housing
.
Since 2001, the 57 municipal districts have been grouped into 22 numbered administrative districts , for national-government purposes. One municipal district in each administrative district has responsibility for providing certain services for the entire administrative district. Those services include providing business licenses, identity cards and passports. The municipal district with such responsibility shares a name with the administrative district it serves. For example, the municipal district of Prague 19 provides those services to the municipal districts of Prague 19
, Prague-Čakovice
, Prague-Satalice and Prague-Vinoř. Residents of Satalice can get dog tags in their neighborhood but must go to Kbely, home of the Prague 19 government, to get an identity card.
Both the citywide government and the municipal districts have elected councils and mayor
s. The mayor of the Capital City of Prague is known as the primátor, which is sometimes translated into English as "lord mayor" (even though the Czech title carries no connotations of nobility).
From 1960 to 1990, Prague was divided into 10 districts. Those 10 districts are still used for addressing and transportation purposes and, for example, the organisation of courts and prosecutions. Street signs additionally add the name of the cadastral area , which usually reflects the name of an old municipality
before its assimilation into the city of Prague. Thus, a sign in Kbely will say "Praha 9-Kbely," not "Praha 19." Prague residents are much more likely to use the name of a cadastral area or a 1960 municipal district than the name of a post-1990 district in everyday communication.

Beyond these 112 cadastral areas, many other Prague settlements, quarters and housing estates are perceived as districts although they don't constitute their own cadastral areas. For example Barrandov
, Spořilov, Sídliště Košík, Zahradní Město, Pankrác, Letná
, Bubny, Zlíchov, Klíčov, Butovice, Klukovice, Kačerov, Jenerálka, Šárka, Strahov, Chodovec, Litochleby, Dubeček, Lázeňka, Netluky, Zmrzlík, Cikánka, Kateřinky, Hrnčíře, Pitkovičky, Lahovičky, Dolní Černošice, Kazín
, Závist, Baně
, Strnady and many others. The biggest panelák
complexes are Jižní Město
(South City), Severní Město (North City) a Jihozápadní Město (South-West City), all of which consist of partial housing estates. Most of Prague's panel housing estates from 1960's to 1980's have names including the Czech word sídliště', which refers to a post-World War 2 eastern bloc housing estate. Many local names originate from names of historic villages in today's Prague area.

Notes:
- In 2001, the Czech government ordered that all municipal districts serving entire administrative districts should have the same name as the administrative district. Thus, the municipal districts of Radotín, Řepy, Letňany, Kbely, Horní Počernice, Újezd nad Lesy and Uhříněves are now Prague 16 through 22, respectively. The old names persist as names of cadastral areas.
- All named districts officially begin with "Prague-", or, in Czech, "Praha-". Thus, the official name of Kunratice is "Prague-Kunratice" or "Praha-Kunratice."
