kerületeket

Kerületeket is a Hungarian term that translates to "districts" or "boroughs" in English. It refers to the administrative divisions within larger cities in Hungary. These districts are established to decentralize the management of urban areas and provide more localized governance. Each kerület typically has its own elected council and mayor, responsible for managing local services such as urban planning, public works, social services, and cultural activities within its boundaries.

The concept of kerületeket is most prominent in Budapest, the capital city, which is divided into 23 districts. These districts vary significantly in size, population, and character, ranging from densely populated residential areas to historic city centers and industrial zones. The numbering and naming of Budapest's districts are part of the city's administrative structure. Other major Hungarian cities may also be divided into districts, though the number and organization can differ from Budapest. The purpose of these divisions is to allow for more effective administration and to address the specific needs of different parts of a large urban agglomeration.
