The city of Damascus is divided into 16 municipalities (Arabic: بلدية, romanized: baladiyah). Every municipal district is managed by an elected mayor, which in turn is divided into 95 districts (Arabic: الحي hayy),^[1] each headed by a mayor, and they all participate in the election of the Damascus city council.^[2] Yarmouk is one whole municipality, and is divided into 6 neighborhoods.^[1]
