The publication contains a systematic overview of territorial breakdown of Prague with basic data up to breakdown by territorial technical unit. Traditionally, it shows also historical development of the territory and changes in administrative set-up. It shows the shift of the administrative set-up from ten to fifteen administrative districts as well as the latest administrative amendment effective as of 1 July 2001, which divided 57 city sections into 22 administrative districts. Similarly, the information on the territorial technical breakdown of the capital city was updated.

The chapter of the Lexicon dealing with selected information on city sections underwent changes. The data on cadastral territories were similarly updated. Another change is inclusion of the long time series of the population from 1850 to 2001 according to the results of individual censuses broken down by cadastral territory.The series includes the data on population at the end of 2008. The chapter of cadastral territories is enriched with a section of local names, which are taken from the book “What is what in Prague” by Ctibor Rybár, 1989. The placement of these traditional territories reflects present administrative breakdown of the city.

Where not stated otherwise, the publication contains data for the year 2008.

For the user’s needs a separate chapter is again devoted to codes in force and used in nation-wide databases, statistical reporting and the like. The codes already include changes that have occurred until 2009.
