- Gu of Seoul
The Gu of
Seoul ,South Korea . There are twenty-five Gu ("Districts"; 구; _ko. 區) in Seoul. The gu vary greatly in area (from 10 to 47 km²) and population (from less than 140,000 to 630,000). Songpa has the most people, while Seocho, the largest area. "Gu"s are similar toLondon 's orNew York 'sborough s, and a "gu"'s government handles many of the functions that are handled by city governments in other jurisdictions. This city-like standing is underscored by the fact that each gu has its own sister cities. Each gu is divided into "dong" or neighbourhoods. Some gu have only a few dong while others like Jongno-gu have a very large number of distinct neighborhoods.List by population and area
