Lord of the city

Pavel Bem was elected lord mayor of Prague in November 2002. He has made sprucing up the city's image a priority and he intends to regulate prostitution, reduce homelessness and prosecute taxi drivers who overcharge their customers. In a recent interview, he addressed some of the challenges the city faces as he focuses on its occasional scruffy reputation.
