- Source: Quarters of Oran
The city of Oran in Algeria is divided into eighteen administrative "secteurs urbains" (urban areas). In 1994 twelve areas were established, each with its own administration, overseen by an elected municipal delegate who manages administrative, technical, political and social affairs.(fr) Population growth led to the creation in 2017 of six additional urban areas: Akid Lotfi, Ed-Derb, Fellaoucène, Hammou Boutlélis, El-Khaldia, and Mahieddine.
