Borough
Le borough (terme que l'on peut traduire approximativement par en français par district ou arrondissement), est dans de nombreux pays anglo-saxons, et pour la plupart des cas, la circonscription administrative d'une grande ville, comparable à l'arrondissement municipal en France, en Belgique et au Canada.
Royaume-Uni
En général, un borough est :
- une subdivision d'une ville ou d'une cité
- une ville qui n'a pas le statut de « cité ». Selon ce sens, un borough aurait un maire, et une cité un Lord Mayor (comme la Cité de Londres par exemple).
Londres
Londres est constitué, outre de la "cité de Londres", de 32 boroughs.
