Districts of Nasseria

Not to be confused with Districts of the Arab Union, the second-lowest national administrative division.

Nasseria, the national capital of the Arab Union, is divided into 15 districts (Arabic: ناحية nāḥiyah, pl. نواحي nawāḥī; sometimes translated borough or sub-borough, or alternatively left untranslated in English-language publications), which constitute the administrative level below that of the capital city's devolved local authority (the Capital District Council). Each district is represented by one of 15 popularly elected district councillors who, together with the mayor, form the Capital District Council, which is elected every three years. This system also functions as a standardised urban locality/neighbourhood scheme, as district boundaries closely reflect contrasts in urban planning and design, social and economic functionality, and cultural geography, with each district constituting a discrete section of the urban landscape.

Bab el-Mutasarref, for example, is a centrally-located district which serves as the national government precinct, is the seat of the government of the Arab Union, and as such the location of a large portion of federal ministry headquarters, national institutions and other central bureaucratic organs. This and immediately surrounding districts together form the wider urban core of the capital. Each district consists of a handful of informally distinguished/defined neighbourhoods, all of which have local, generally informal names.
