==Burghs o Mexico Ceety==
{{main|Burghs o Mexico Ceety}}

It is admeenistered through the Govrenment o the Federal Destrict an it haes its ain unicameral [[Legislative Assembly]]. For admeenistrative purposes, the Federal Destrict is subdivided into ''[[burghs o Mexico Ceety|delegaciones]]'' or burghs. Tho there nae fou equivalent tae a municipality, syne 2000, they hae a certain degree o poleetical autonomy, in that residents athin a burgh elect a local borough heid o govrenment (cried ''jefe delegacional'') direct. Housomeivver, burghs dinnae form local [municipal] councils an they arnae constitute bi a group o trustees. They dinnae hae regulatory pouers, whilk is maistly centralisit in the Federal Destrict govrenment. The majority o the ceety's public services is organisit bi the Federal Destrict even gif part o the administration responsibilities is cairriet oot bi the burghs.
