The city of Prague currently needs to provide flats for roughly 1.55 million residents, according to an analysis carried out by the company CE-Traffic. That is around 250,000 more than the population as estimated by the Czech Statistics Office. “Most predictions expected that Prague would have around 1.4 million residents by 2013, but that figure has already been exceeded by 150,000,” Ondřej Špaček of CE-Traffic told the Czech News Agency.
