Boroughs and districts of Gothenburg
Gothenburg previously had 20 boroughs, but after a decision in the municipal assembly in January 2010 some of the boroughs were merged, leaving a total of 10 boroughs. The merge were implemented on 1 January 2011.
Each "borough" is divided into a number of officially defined residential districts (Swedish: primärområden). There are 94 districts. These are usually created by natural neighbourhoods, but sometimes consist of more than one traditional district.
The "boroughs" are responsible for, among other things,
, home-help service and care for the elderly.Below is a list of the "boroughs" in Gothenburg, as well as the official districts. Also included are traditional districts, where these are part of an official district. The list of traditional districts is incomplete.
