The orchestra has a new home at the Krakov cultural centre in Prague 8. Neither the terms nor the length of the tenancy is given.

Pupils returned to all fifteen primary schools run by the district; for just under nine hundred of them it was the first day of school.

Traffic is fully restored on twelve sites across the city: Kbelská finished on 13 August, then Plzeňská, Radlická and Jaromírova, with work also done on the Pod Krejcárkem, Moskevská and Hlávkův bridges. The timing was deliberate — the heaviest work was scheduled for the summer holidays precisely so the key restrictions would be gone before 1 September, when city traffic jumps.

The city council approved changes to the names of the planned line D stations. These are names passengers will live with for decades; the line itself is under construction.

At the Hovorčovická primary school in Prague 8 a school street starts on 7 September: in the morning the area around the school closes to cars so children can walk in safely on their own. The push came from the school and from parents; the measure runs under the Safe Routes to School programme, coordinated by the Pešky městem organisation and funded by the city. Prague 7 is launching school streets for the new year as well — so this is a city programme, not one district's idea.

The city is preparing a tender for running nine recycling yards — the current contracts expire in June 2027. The new terms are to include longer Saturday opening hours and Reuse points, places for items that still have a life left in them.

The council approved a district heating strategy and master plan for the city up to 2036. The document is to set the framework for secure and sustainable heat supply; the announcement gives no specific measures or costs.

The council approved an addiction services programme. The money is to support the availability and growth of the service network for people at risk of addictive behaviour. How the sum is split between providers the announcement does not say.

The Czech Telecommunication Office is setting up a separate unit supervising artificial intelligence. It starts work on 1 September and will be headed by Anna Hroudová.

The city wants to widen the network of places where residents can drop off municipal waste free of charge. Neither an opening date nor a cost is given.
