Bergen is divided into eight boroughs,<ref name="bydeler">{{Cite web |last=Statistics Norway |year=2004 |title=Bydeler i Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger og Trondheim |url=http://www.ssb.no/kommuner/bydeler.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070903012141/http://www.ssb.no/kommuner/bydeler.html |archive-date=3 September 2007 |access-date=14 August 2007 |language=no}}</ref> as seen on the map to the right. Clockwise, starting with the northernmost, the boroughs are [[Åsane]], [[Arna, Bergen|Arna]], [[Fana, Bergen|Fana]], [[Ytrebygda]], [[Fyllingsdalen]], [[Laksevåg]], [[Årstad, Bergen|Årstad]] and [[Bergenhus]]. The city centre is in [[Bergenhus]]. Parts of Fana, Ytrebygda, Åsane and Arna are not part of the Bergen urban area, explaining why the municipality has approximately 20,000 more inhabitants than the urban area.<ref>{{Cite web |last=says |first=suNeil |date=29 October 2019 |title=The History of Bergen |url=https://www.lifeinnorway.net/history-of-bergen/ |access-date=14 August 2020 |website=Life in Norway |language=en-US}}</ref>

Local borough administrations have varied since Bergen's expansion in 1972. From 1974, each borough had a politically chosen administration. From 1989, Bergen was divided into 12 health and social districts, each locally administered. From 2000 to 2004, the former organizational form with eight politically chosen local administrations was again in use and from 2008 through to 2010, a similar form existed where the local administrations had less power than previously.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Lokaldemokratiets utvikling 1814 – 2014 |url=https://www.bergen.kommune.no/omkommunen/avdelinger/byradsavd-for-klima-kultur-og-naring/2435/article-114765 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160819185132/https://www.bergen.kommune.no/omkommunen/avdelinger/byradsavd-for-klima-kultur-og-naring/2435/article-114765 |archive-date=19 August 2016 |access-date=10 June 2016 |website=Bergen kommune |language=nb}}</ref>

'''Former borough: Sentrum'''<br />
Sentrum (literally, "Centre") was a borough (with [[Bergenhus#Sentrum|the same name as a present-day neighbourhood]]). The borough was numbered ''01'', and its perimeter was from [[Store Lungegårdsvann]] and Strømmen along [[Puddefjorden]] around [[Nordnes]] and over to Skuteviken, up [[Fløyen|Mt. Fløyen]] east of Langelivannet, on to Skansemyren and over Forskjønnelsen to Store Lungegårdsvann, south of the railroad tracks.<ref name="Bergen byleksikon">{{Cite web |first1=Gunnar Hagen |last1=Hartvedt |first2=Norvall |last2=Skreien |orig-date=25 January 2001 |title=Bergen byleksikon |url=http://www.bergenbyarkiv.no/bergenbyleksikon/arkiv/1424243 |edition=3 |year=2009}}</ref>
