The major districts in my two cities Are:
Panama City, Panama (born)-
Casco Viejo
El Chorrillo
Santa Ana
Calidonia
Bella Vista
Marbella
El Cangrejo
Punta Paitilla
San Francisco
Obarrio

San Francisco, California (live)-
Western Addition
North Beach
Marina
Chinatown
Mission (outer/inner)
Pacific Heights

I omitted some lesser (but prominent) neighborhoods in both cities in order to focus on the major districts.

Antalya
Kemer
Kepez
Konyaaltı
Muratpaşa
Serik

Well...in LA you can generalize into large regions like the west side, south LA, the valley, etc.

Outside of downtown, I guess the districts would be called by the city names...Venice, Hollywood, Westlake, etc.

Too many to name!

There are a couple neighborhoods in midtown that have names, like Mission Hills, Brookside, etc., but I'm not sure if they count as "districts" or not. Anyway, those are the main districts.
