City Districts of Pakistan are districts in Pakistan are primarily comprising urban areas, such as a mega city or large metropolitan areas. Out of the 150 total districts in Pakistan, only 8 were designated as "city districts" in 2001. These city districts have administrative boards responsible for specific areas of governance within their jurisdictions. The degree of administrative autonomy varies significantly among these districts.

Administrative structure

City districts consist of a three-tier or four-tier system of government. Each city district is subdivided into Tehsils (or Towns), which are further subdivided into Union Councils, which may further be subdivided into Wards.
