The 'Lebensweltlich orientierten Räume', or LOR, is a system that divides the city of Berlin into a hierarchy of continuously smaller geographical units. At the top are the 12 Bezirke (burroughs). The Bezirke are divided into 58 Prognoseräume, which are further divided into 143 Bezirksregionen. Finally, at the lowest level, there are 542 Planungsräume. The LORs are the basis for planning, prognosis and monitoring of demographic and social developments in Berlin.
