Since 1990, the city has been divided into 57 self-governing municipal districts (Czech: městské části). 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. This article is about the year. ...

Since 2001, the 57 municipal districts are grouped into 22 numbered administrative districts (Czech: správní obvody), 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. This article is about the year 2001. ...

Both the citywide government and the municipal districts have elected councils and mayors. The mayor of the Capital City of Prague is known as the primátor, which is sometimes translated into English as "lord mayor." A mayor (from the Latin māior, meaning larger, greater) is the modern title of the highest ranking municipal officer. ...

From 1960 until the 1990s, Prague was divided into only 10 districts. Those 10 districts are still used for addressing and transportation purposes, both officially and unofficially. Street signs additionally add the name of the cadastral area (Czech: katastrální území), which usually reflects the name of a 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.

• 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 catastral areas.
• All named districts officially begin with "Prague-", or, in Czech, "Praha-". Thus, the official name of Kunratice is "Prague-Kunratice" or "Praha-Kunratice."
