ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISIONS OF IVORY COAST
Ivory Coast is divided into 14 districts, including the two autonomous districts of the cities of Abidjan and Yamassoukro; the two northern districts of Savanes and Zanzan are the largest, while Abidjan is the one with the largest population, about double that of the other more populated districts.Almost all the main cities of the country are located in the more densely populated central-southern area, with the exception of Korhogo, the only significant urban center in the north of the Ivory Coast; only Abidjan exceeds one million inhabitants, not too far from the 5 million mark.
