Fun fact, my city technically does and doesn't have boroughs The subdivisions are called 'settlements' or 'osiedla', despite there being plenty of different ways to subdivide my city into boroughs Sulejów, a small city of about 6200, somehow has boroughs of it's own A big city of about 67000 people, and a small city of about 6200
