Stadsdel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A stadsdel (pl. stadsdelar) is a Swedish form of city district, comparable to the German Stadtbezirk, i.e. an administrative unit within a larger city. In Sweden, the cities of Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö comprise city districts.
City districts are responsible for kindergartens, schools, and geriatric care within their geographical areas, as well as local cultural and recreational activities.
Stadsdel is frequently incorrectly translated as Borough. City District is however the official English language translation, as is evident from various official documents from the official homepages of the cities mentioned above.
