Prague is the capital city of Czech Republic. It’s situated in the north-west of the country on the Vltava River. Prague is among the oldest cities in Europe and one of the most beautiful. It is the country’s economic, transportation, and cultural centre. Since the Middle Ages, Prague is known for its rich history and stunning architecture. Some of the places that make it famous include the amazing ancient buildings, Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, Old Town Square, Art Galleries, and the Astronomical Clock.

Census in Czech Republic is conducted every 10 years and 2021 is the year of the next census. According to the 2011 census, Prague had a population of 1,267,449. Compared to other cities in Czech Republic, Prague is considered to be more diverse. According to the 2011 census, 64.3% of the population is Czech based in Prague while the rest are mostly Slovaks, and other nationalities. When it comes to religious beliefs, most people in Prague identify themselves as non-religious. According to the data collected during the 2011 census, 45% people in Prague identified themselves as non-religious, 16.8% as Roman Catholics, 31.5% did not answer the question about faith. On the other hand, 6.7% of respondents declared that they followed other religions. Prague is culturally very diverse and its residents speak multiple languages, including Czech, Slovak, English, German and Russian. The Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle in the world, occupying an area of almost 70,000 m2. The Charles Bridge, a famous historic bridge that crosses the Vltava river, is decorated by a continuous alley of 30 statues and statuaries, most of them baroque-style, originally erected around 1700.

The city of Prague is divided into 22 administrative areas, which are in turn divided into 57 municipal districts. The Mayor of Prague, who has executive powers, and the Prague City Assembly, who scrutinize the Mayor's decisions and can accept or reject his budget proposals each year, head citywide administration. The Prague City Assembly is responsible for strategic planning, policing, the fire service, most aspects of transport and economic development. On the other hand, the local authorities are responsible for local services not overseen by the Prague City Assembly, such as local planning, schools, social services, local roads and refuse collection. The Prague districts each have a council made up from representatives from political parties and single issue organizations elected every four years by local residents.

Prague has always been a commercial city and today enjoys the status of having one of the largest city economies in Czech Republic. The city thrives in trade and commerce and has a vibrant culture seeped in commerce. It has a GDP of over $89 billion, which is about 25 percent of the Czech Republic's total GDP. The size of its economy is larger than that of several small European nations. The Port of Prague handles 12 million tons of cargo every year.

Prague took positive steps with its draft Prague infrastructure plan 2025. The Mayor of Prague took a big step forward in planning for growth with the publication of the Prague’s Infrastructure Plan 2025. It identifies a range of infrastructure priorities for Prague, from new energy, water and sewerage infrastructure, to enhanced digital connectivity and new Tram, rail and road schemes. Some of the investment is provided by the private sector, through the privatized utilities. This has generally worked well in Prague, although business is particularly concerned at the lack of capacity in digital infrastructure. The take-up of high speed broadband by business is low compared to other world cities; and just over 10% of premises cannot access superfast broadband in the first place, with these “not spots” particularly prevalent in the city centre. Business sees these as priority areas for action by the Mayor.
