| Law and Government |
| The city of Phoenix is served by a council-manager form of government. The current mayor of Phoenix is Phil Gordon. There is an 8-person city council that represents 8 individual districts in the city of Phoenix. |
| Phoenix is divided into 15 "urban villages". Their primary purpose is to assist the City Council with zoning and planning ordinances. 14 of the urban villages are:
|
- Ahwatukee Foothills
- Alhambra
- Camelback East
- Central City
- Deer Valley
- Desert Ridge
- Desert View
- Encanto
- Estrella
- Laveen
- Maryvale
- North Gateway
- North Mountain
- Paradise Valley
- South Mountain
|
| The 15th remains unnamed; it is listed as "New Village" on the city's Village Planning Committee website (http://phoenix.gov/PLANNING/vpcommtt.html). This village was created in 2004 after the approval of new annexations in extreme northern Maricopa County. The new annexation is sparsely populated (if at all) and new development is not expected in the near future. |
