The future in Prague looks quite positive, especially in comparison with Prague's turbulent recent past. Vaclav Havel's honest leadership and dedication to the Czech Republic since 1989 has provided the country with a solid foundation from which it may continue to grow. Because of the efforts since the Velvet Revolution to put Prague "on the map" as a place to do business and as a tourist destination, its tourist industry and rates of foreign investment should continue to grow. The foreign presence in the city will therefore continue to grow and it is possible that the growing diversity could lead to social tensions or conflict. However, the openness of the Czech people and the socially-minded government should help to avoid this.

Because there is not enough housing in Prague, there will likely be some extent of expansion into the suburbs. However, the declining growth rate does not suggest that Prague will be expanding extensively soon. With the continued integration of the capitalist system, the differentiation of classes will likely increase and the unemployment rate should rise. If an elite sector emerges in Prague, it is possible that these people may choose to build larger houses in Prague's surrounding areas where there is more room.

The increasingly large aged portion of the population in Prague may require large numbers of professionals in health care. This will open up opportunities for immigration. As Prague continues to westernize, it will likely become more attractive to immigrants from Eastern and Western Europe, and other parts of the world as well. The western influences may cause Prague to lose some of its widely agreed upon charm. However, it seems like if anything were going to strip Prague of its uniqueness, it would have been the forty years of oppresive communism.
