Data and analysis

Planning Analytical Materials (PAM) are a regularly updated set of information about the condition of the territory of the Capital City of Prague. PAM serve as an expert basis for planning the development of the territory, including the preparation of the city’s land-use plan and other documentation. They identify the key values of the territory, its constraints, as well as opportunities for further development. They point out problems to be solved. In addition to spatial relations, they also take into account economic, socio-demographic, and cultural aspects, as well as the state of the environment.

To achieve the sustainable urban development of Prague, it is necessary to understand it. That is why IPR Prague collects and compiles relevant data to create strategies, documents, analyses and other important documents and projects. Selected analyses in English can be found here:

Storymaps are interactive presentations of data, analyses, and projects developed by IPR Prague. By combining maps, visuals, and concise narratives, they communicate key urban development topics clearly and engagingly to the public. Storymaps often complement our analytical studies, though they can also stand alone. All English storymaps can be found here:

1. Prague for One Night
2. Diverse Prague
3. Industrial Prague
4. Sustainable Prague

The study, based on population analysis and projections, assesses the current state and future needs of selected types of public amenities in Prague as a whole and in specific areas such as municipal parts and balanced territorial units. The chapters provide a detailed analysis of the current accessibility and capacity of individual types of public amenities. They also address anticipated future shortages or surpluses of public amenities based on demographic projection and four different scenarios of possible future development.

The Geoportal is a publicly accessible, online source of maps and information about Prague. The website offers more than thirty on-line maps of Prague – aerial photographs from different years, a noise map, and a map of the most photographed places.   

One of IPR Prague's key activities is managing the basic geographical data for all urban governance activities. The Digital Map of Public Administration of Prague includes the Technical Map, orthophoto maps, 3D models of Prague and a basic map of Prague at a scale of 1 : 25 000.

IPR Prague provides access to data for equal and transparent sharing of spatial information. For this purpose, it is preparing the eVýdej service – a free-of-charge, electronic service for issuing spatial data and a system for direct access to open geographical data.

Unlike Googlemaps and other programs, the 3D model application of Prague provides a wide range of detailed information about every building: for instance, it can tell you how many floors a building has and who owns it. The 3D model includes data on more than 200,000 buildings throughout the city. 

The extent of the buildings and the technologies used make this a unique application for displaying the 3D city model of the city. The application is based on ESRI technology; in June 2017, IPR Prague won a “Special Achievement in GIS 2017” award from ESRI, the world’s largest supplier of spatial data software. Making the city’s 3D model available to both experts and the general public is one of the outcomes of IPR Prague’s long-term monitoring of trends in the management and presentation of 3D models of cities.
