Prague is divided into 10 municipal districts (1-10), 22 administrative districts (1-22), 57 municipal parts, or 112 cadastral areas.
Since 1990, the city has been divided into 56 (since 1992, 57) self-governing municipal parts ( cs, městské části). The parts are responsible for parks and

; 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.

public housing
Public housing is a form of housing tenure in which the property is usually owned by a government authority, either central or local. Although the common goal of public housing is to provide affordable housing, the details, terminology, d ...
.
Since 2001, the 57 municipal parts have been grouped into 22 numbered administrative districts ( cs, správní obvody), for national-government purposes. One administrative district has responsibility for providing certain services for the municipal parts. Those services include providing business licenses, identity cards and passports. The administrative district with such responsibility sometimes shares a name with the municipal part it serves. For example, the administrative district of Prague 19 provides those services to the municipal parts of
Prague 19 (Kbely), 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
In many countries, a mayor is the highest-ranking official in a municipal government such as that of a city or a town. Worldwide, there is a wide variance in local laws and customs regarding the powers and responsibilities of a mayor as well as ...
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).
Since 1960, Prague has been divided into 10 municipal districts. Those 10 districts are still used for addressing and transportation purposes and, for example, the organisation of courts and prosecutions.
Street signs usually reflects the name of a municipal district and additionally add the name of the cadastral area ( cs, katastrální území). 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, than the name of an administrative district in everyday communication.

Notes:
* In 2001, the Czech government ordered that every municipal district that serves an entire administrative district should be named for the administrative district that it serves. 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 remain as the names of cadastral areas.
* All named districts officially begin with "Prague-", or "''Praha-''" in Czech. Thus, for example, the official name of Kunratice is "Prague-Kunratice" or ''"Praha-Kunratice"''.
