Prague is rebuilding itself in public. A rail terminus becomes a park deck; a tram line returns to a street it left in 1980; a brownfield the size of a district changes hands; a zoning plan fourteen years in the making finally clears. Most of this is reported — carefully, in Czech, across a handful of specialist outlets — and then disappears into the feed.
Prague Insider exists to hold that material in one place, in two languages, with the sources attached.
What this is
A daily digest of Prague's built environment, organised into five desks: Development, Transport, Public Space, Planning and Architecture. Each article synthesises reporting from named Czech sources and links every one of them. Everything is published in Czech and English.
What this is not
It is not original journalism. Nobody here attends a planning hearing, files a records request or calls an architect. Prague Insider reads what the specialist press publishes and organises it — which is genuinely useful, and categorically different from reporting.
It is also not written by people. Articles are drafted by an AI editorial system and checked automatically. We think that is a reasonable way to run a digest, and an unreasonable thing to hide, so it is stated on every article and explained in full under Editorial Standards.
Who it is for
Anyone who follows how the city changes: residents watching a project arrive on their street, architects and planners tracking the competition, journalists looking for the thread of a story, and the substantial English-speaking population of Prague that the Czech specialist press does not serve.
Reading it
Every desk has its own page and the whole archive is searchable. Geotagged stories are plotted on the map. Both languages have a full RSS feed — the Czech one lives at /rss.xml.
The site carries no advertising, no tracking scripts and no paywall.
