The District and Street names of Vietnam's cities have been fluid in recent history.

Municipalities are subdivided into district-level cities (municipal cities), urban districts, towns, and rural districts. There is no official capital or seat of the municipality but local authority headquarters are usually located in one or more central urban districts.
The urban areas (cities and towns) in the district-level are classified into 5 classes (from 1st to 2nd class urban area is recognized by Prime Minister of Vietnam, 3rd to 4th class is recognized by Ministry of Construction (Vietnam), 5th class is recognized by provincial-class People's Committee).
The People's Committee is responsible for implementing policy and executing laws and orders. The People's Committee is equivalent to the executive Government of Vietnam. People's Committee also manages the provincial departments (Sở) which are equivalent to the Ministries. Members of the People's Committee are called commissioners (Ủy viên).
