{{short description|Administrative units of Lima}} {{Multiple image|total_width = 300 | image1 = Districts of Lima.svg | image2 = Urban districts of Lima Province.svg | footer = 30 of Lima's 43 districts form its urban area. }} [[Lima]], the capital of [[Peru]], is divided into '''forty-three districts''' ({{langx|es|distritos}}), which are further divided into several neighbourhoods ({{langx|es|urbanizaciones}}) or, alternatively, [[Populated centres of Peru|populated centres]] ({{langx|es|centros poblados}}). The city is coterminous with the [[Lima province|province of the same name]], with each district being under the administration of both a [[Municipalities of Peru|local municipal government]] and the [[Metropolitan Municipality of Lima]], which administers the province in its entirety.<ref>Municipalidad Lima. ''[http://www.munlima.gob.pe/ Municipalidad Lima] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/19990420214305/http://www.munlima.gob.pe/ |date=1999-04-20 }}''. Retrieved 24 March 2008.</ref> This province, alongside that of [[Callao]], form the [[Lima metropolitan area]].

The [[urban area]] of [[Lima]] is generally considered to be formed by thirty of the 42 districts. The remaining thirteen districts consist of mostly rural and sparsely populated desert and mountainous areas. Of these peripheral districts, many of the coastal ones serve as beach resorts and their population, which is considerably smaller than that of the urban districts, increases during the summer months.
