Jeżyce

Jeżyce [jɛˈʐɨt͡sɛ] is a part of the city of Poznań in western Poland. It was one of the five governmental districts (dzielnicas) into which the city was divided prior to 1990, and which are retained for certain administrative purposes. For details, see Administrative division of Poznań.

The name Jeżyce more popularly refers to a much narrower area – the old neighbourhood (and former village) of Jeżyce, centred on the Rynek Jeżycki market. This forms the south-eastern part of the wider district of Jeżyce discussed in this article. For the osiedles contained within this district – including one called Jeżyce, which closely corresponds to the old neighbourhood – see Administrative division of Poznań.

The district of Jeżyce covers the north-western part of Poznań, with an area of 57.9 square kilometres (22.4 sq mi), 22% of the city's total area. Its population of 81,300 accounts for 14.2% of the city's total. Its population density is 1,404 persons/km².

Jeżyce is bounded by the districts of Stare Miasto to the east and Grunwald to the south. It also borders the administrative districts (gminas) of Suchy Las to the north, Rokietnica and Tarnowo Podgórne to the north-west, and Dopiewo to the west.

The boundary between Jeżyce and Stare Miasto was marked by the streets Obornicka (the main road leading north towards Oborniki), Lechicka, Piątkowska, Księcia Mieszka I, Pułaskiego and Roosevelta. The boundary with Grunwald is marked by Bukowska, the road leading from the city centre to the airport, and onwards towards Buk.
