From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The city of Buenos Aires is administratively divided into fifteen comunas,[1] unlike the Province of Buenos Aires, which is subdivided into partidos, or the rest of Argentina, in which the second-order administrative division is departamentos.[2] Each comuna encompasses one or more neighbourhoods (barrios), which are represented in the respective community centres for administrative purposes.[3]

The division by comunas was instituted by the 1996 Constitution of the City of Buenos Aires,[4] and modified in 2005 by Law #1777.[5] The law was again modified in 2008,[6] 2011,[7] and 2013.[8]
