Annotation
In October 1918 Prague became the capital of the newly independent state and on the initiative of the Royal Vineyards negotiations on Greater Prague were resumed. A year later, a proposal for the creation of Greater Prague was submitted and in early 1920 three merger laws were passed as the legal basis for the merger process. Greater Prague was officially established on 1 January 1922 by annexing 37 neighbouring municipalities. The annexed municipalities, however, had a diverse economic character, social composition of the population, and different possibilities for further economic development.
After the establishment of Greater Prague, the Prague City Council had to deal with a number of serious problems arising not only from the increase in population (especially the housing issue), the uneven character, facilities and infrastructure of the city centre and the annexed suburbs, but also from the new role of Prague as the capital of the newly independent state.
The city faced not only the traditional problems in the field of crime (lack of police officers, technology, inadequate premises), but also new problems (mass emergence of drugs and narcotics). It was necessary to modernise the police apparatus, the prison system and to introduce new modern methods of policing. The Czechoslovak justice system also required modernisation - the new state and Greater Prague had adopted many of the original laws of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. The laws were gradually amended or repealed and replaced by new laws. In a number of areas, the emerging problems were resolved, but many problems persisted throughout the First Republic.
