Since the Municipalities Act of 1990, statutory cities in the Czech Republic have been allowed to use the terms city district (Czech: městská část) and city region (Czech: městský obvod) at their discretion to describe self-governing subdivisions of the city.^[1] The two terms are legally equivalent. For example, the cities of Brno and Opava term their boroughs "city districts", while Ostrava, Pardubice, Plzeň, and Ústí nad Labem use "city regions". Across the various cities in the Czech Republic, there are 94 city districts as compared to 46 city regions. This act predates the dissolution of Czechoslovakia into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Slovakia also uses the term city district (Slovak: mestská časť) for its boroughs.
