The boroughs of Amsterdam (Dutch: stadsdelen; lit. "city parts") are the seven principal subdivisions of the municipality of Amsterdam, Netherlands.^[2] Each borough is governed by a directly elected district committee (bestuurscommissie). The first Amsterdam boroughs were created in 1981, with other boroughs created in later years. The last area to be granted the status of borough was Amsterdam-Centrum (2002). The existing system of seven boroughs, covering most parts of Amsterdam, is the result of a major borough reform in 2010. The current boroughs have populations of around 80,000 to 150,000, which is the equivalent to an average-sized municipality in the Netherlands. Since 2022, there is also the urban area (Dutch: stadsgebied) Weesp.^[2]
