The city of Buenos Aires is administratively divided into fifteen comunas, unlike the Province of Buenos Aires, which is subdivided into partidos, or the rest of Argentina, in which the second-order administrative division is departamentos. Each comuna encompasses one or more neighbourhoods (barrios), which are represented in the respective community centres for administrative purposes.
The division by comunas was instituted by the 1996 Constitution of the City of Buenos Aires,Title 6 and modified in 2005 by Law #1777. The law was again modified in 2008,Ley Orgánica de Comunas, Nº 2650 2011,Nº 3802 and Nº 4013 of 2011 and 2013.Nº 4630 of 2013
