Английская Википедия:Administrative division of Poznań
Since 2011, the Polish city of Poznań has been divided into 42 osiedles or neighbourhoods, each of which has its own elected council with certain decision-making and spending powers. The first uniform elections for these councils were held on 20 March 2011.
From 1954 to 1990, Poznań was divided into five dzielnicas, called Stare Miasto, Nowe Miasto, Jeżyce, Grunwald and Wilda. These ceased to exist as governmental units in 1990, although they are still used as areas of jurisdiction for certain administrative offices. Some osiedle councils were set up during the years to 2010, but the present division introduced in 2011 is the first to provide a uniform set of units of this type covering the whole area of the city.
Note that the city contains many housing estates and residential areas whose names include the word "osiedle"; not all of these are osiedles in the sense of the administrative division discussed here.
Former and current divisions
The map to the right shows the former division of the city into five districts called dzielnicas. The names Stare Miasto ("Old Town"), Jeżyce and Wilda are taken from neighbourhoods within those districts (the Poznań Old Town neighbourhood and the old neighbourhoods of Jeżyce and Wilda); similarly the name Grunwald can also refer to a relatively small neighbourhood within that district. The district of Nowe Miasto ("New Town") covered the parts of the city east of the main stream of the river Warta.
The boundaries of these former districts mostly coincide with boundaries between the post-2011 osiedles. The present 42 osiedles are listed below, according to which former district they are contained within. Further down the page is a map of these osiedles and a table of population and area data.
