The Tijuana metropolitan area occupies all of borough seats. The boroughs are in turn divided into [[Colonia (Mexico)|colonias]] or [[ejido]]s. These boroughs offer administrative services such as [[urban planning]], [[civil registry]], inspection, verification, [[public work]]s and community development and are served by a ''delegado''. *[[Centro, Tijuana|Centro]] – "Delegación Centro" includes the old downtown (Zona Centro), new business district ([[Zona Río]]), red light district ([[Zona Norte, Tijuana|Zona Norte]]), and other adjacent neighborhoods ("zonas").<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sig.tijuana.gob.mx/|title=H. Ayuntamiento de Tijuana, B.C.

The [[Tijuana Cultural Center]] (CECUT for CEntro CUltural de Tijuana) is located here as well as the Plaza Río Tijuana, until recently the largest mall in the state, within the [[Zona Río, Tijuana|Zona Rio]]. *[[Cerro Colorado, Tijuana|Cerro Colorado]] – The ''Cerro Colorado'' ("Red Hill") is located here and it is surrounded by houses. Because of its height many of the area's antennas for radio and television stations are located on its peak. * [[La Mesa, Tijuana|La Mesa]] – This is where the [[Morelos Park]], the largest public park in the city, is located, as well as the retail and transit hub [[Cinco y Diez]], Plaza Mundo Divertido, the new [[Macroplaza, Tijuana|Macroplaza]] and the [[Centro de Enseñanza Técnica y Superior|CETYS]] University. *[[Otay Centenario]] – This borough was created in 2014 by merging Mesa de Otay and Centenario boroughs.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.frontera.info/EdicionEnlinea/Notas/Noticias/15012014/796713-Doble-responsabilidad-desde-el-1-de-enero.html |title="Doble responsabilidad desde el 1 de enero", ''Frontera'', 2014-01-15 |access-date=2 August 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808044840/http://www.frontera.info/EdicionEnlinea/Notas/Noticias/15012014/796713-Doble-responsabilidad-desde-el-1-de-enero.html |archive-date=8 August 2014 |url-status=live}}</ref> In this borough sits the [[tijuana International Airport]]. The [[Autonomous University of Baja California, Tijuana|Tijuana campus]] of the [[Autonomous University of Baja California]] and the Technologico are also located here as well as many [[maquiladora]]s. This is the borough with the largest number of factories and [[maquiladora]]s. Its largest colony is ''Ciudad Industrial'' ("Industrial City"). This delegacion contains the [[Otay Mesa]] entry to the [[United States]] and the [[Friendship Park (San Diego - Tijuana)|Friendship Park]] (Parque de la amistad). *[[Playas de Tijuana]]<ref>{{cite web |title=Bourough of Playas de Tijuana |url=http://www.tijuana.gob.mx/Delegaciones/Delegaciones.asp?delegacion=6 |access-date=21 July 2011 |publisher=City of Tijuana |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722225910/http://www.tijuana.gob.mx/Delegaciones/Delegaciones.asp?delegacion=6 |archive-date=22 July 2011}}</ref> – This is the westernmost borough of the city bordered by the [[Pacific Ocean]] on the west and the [[United States]] border on the north. This is where the beaches of Tijuana are located (hence the name) and it is also one of the two exits to the south towards [[Rosarito]] and [[Ensenada, Baja California|Ensenada]]. *[[La Presa, Tijuana|La Presa]] – literally "'the dam'", this is the largest borough in size and the [[Abelardo L. Rodríguez Dam]] is located within its limits, hence its name. The new [[Corredor Tijuana-Rosarito 2000]] and the [[Mexican Federal Highway 2|Tijuana-Tecate]] freeways run through it. *[[San Antonio de los Buenos, Tijuana|San Antonio de los Buenos]] – This is mostly a residential area although it also has two industrial parks. *[[Sanchez Taboada, Tijuana|Sanchez Taboada]] – Like the previous borough this is mostly a residential area, but within its borders are located many "maquiladoras" specially at Pacific Industrial Park.
