Development planning is huge consumer of spatial data. Prague has developed complex infrastructure for administration, maintenance and evolvement of spatial data for planning and decision making. Within the core of activities are two Prague base data projects - Digital technical map of Prague and 3D city model. Based on it, detail land use and built up structure datasets has been developed within Planning Analytical Material framework. New data projects concentrates mostly on topics as Spatial (Urban) Economy, Mobility and Culture and Society. Spatial data and information are available through wide variety of application and tools. The central access point for spatial data and application is Prague Geoportal. Through Geoportal, both app lications for general public and professionals are available. Currently, two main issues are to be addressed: development of tailored application for professionals, ensuring effective access to relevant sets of information for particular tasks and developm ent of attractive and easy to use applications for general public in order to raise the awareness of development planning. Special importance is seen in support of planning outputs as eGovernment tools – Digital Plan.
