- Source: List of neighbourhoods in Edmonton
The City of Edmonton, the provincial capital of Alberta, Canada is divided into 7 geographic sectors and 375 neighbourhoods, not including those proposed and planned neighbourhoods that have yet to be developed. This article generally describes each sector, their neighbourhoods, and the applicable intermediary areas between the sector and neighbourhood geographic levels.
Mature area sector
Edmonton's mature area sector, or inner city, corresponds with those neighbourhoods deemed mature neighbourhoods in the city's municipal development plan. The sector's neighbourhoods, primarily residential in nature, were essentially built out prior to 1970. It includes the city's central core, which includes its downtown. It also includes neighbourhoods within the five former municipalities that Edmonton absorbed between 1912 and 1964, as well as mature neighbourhoods beyond the central core and these municipalities.
= Central core
=Edmonton's central core comprises Downtown Edmonton and its 11 surrounding neighbourhoods including Boyle Street, Central McDougall, McCauley, Oliver, Queen Mary Park, Riverdale and Rossdale on the north side of the North Saskatchewan River and Cloverdale, Garneau, Strathcona and the University of Alberta on the south side of the river.
Downtown
Edmonton's downtown core, officially named as Downtown, is generally bounded by 109 Street and 111 Street to the west, 105 Avenue to the north, 97 Street to the east, Grierson Hill and Rossdale Road to the southeast, and 97 Avenue and Rossdale Road to the south.
Development within Downtown is guided by the Capital City Downtown Plan. The plan subdivides Downtown into five smaller neighbourhoods, of which four of the five are further subdivided into sub areas.

Business Improvement Areas
In Edmonton, a Business Improvement Area (BIA; formerly business revitalization zone or BRZ) is "a specific geographic area of the city in which businesses pool resources and work together, through a formal association, to enhance the economic development of their area," such as through various improvements, initiatives, programs, promotions and festivals to attract customers.
The authority for Edmonton to establish a BIA is enabled by section 50 of the Municipal Government Act. Some of Edmonton's BIAs share their name with neighbourhoods, but their boundaries do not coincide with those of the neighbourhoods. Edmonton has 13 BIAs as of 2022:
