- Stadsdel
A stadsdel (pl. "stadsdelar") is a Swedish form of
city district , comparable to the GermanStadtbezirk , "i.e." an administrative unit within a larger city. In Sweden, the cities ofStockholm ,Gothenburg , andMalmö 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.
