The city of Turku, Finland is divided into nine wards ( in Finnish, in Swedish) and into 87 non-governmental districts ( in Finnish, in Swedish). These are composed of individual suburbs, and in the very centre of the city, sectors of the central business district are identified by Roman numerals. The ward division does not always follow district boundaries.
