Officially, there are no locations within Brunei that have "city" status. The suburban areas in Brunei Darussalam are divided into kampongs, or villages. These may be administered by either a village council presided by a village head (Ketua Kampong), or by a municipal council (Lembaga Bandaran). Those governed by a municipal council are termed towns.
There are three municipal councils in Brunei, and these administer four towns.
- Bandar Seri Begawan (Pop. ~181,500, Bandar Seri Begawan Municipal Council)
- Kuala Belait (Pop. ~33,067, Kuala Belait/Seria Municipal Council)
- Seria (Pop. ~13,093, Kuala Belait/Seria Municipal Council)
- Tutong (Pop. ~27,500, Tutong Municipal Council)
Other locations within Brunei

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, cities and/or towns:
“I made a list of things I have
to remember and a list
of things I want to forget,
but I see they are the same list.”
—Linda Pastan (b. 1932)
“We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“What care though rival cities soar
Along the stormy coast,
Penn’s town, New York, Baltimore,
If Boston knew the most!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“New is a word for fools in towns who think
Style upon style in dress and thought at last
Must get somewhere.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
