The districts Davesco-Soragno (since 2003 near Lugano) and Villa Luganese (incorporated since 2007), previously allocated to the district of Lugano East, changed to the district of Lugano North when it was founded.

The reorganization of the district structure became necessary with the incorporation of Valcolla, because the localities of Scareglia, Signora, Colla, Cozzo and Bogno are located on the right bank of the Cassarate river. According to the old model , they should have been allocated to the district of Lugano West , while the remaining area of ​​the former municipality of Valcolla (namely Certara, Cimadera and Piandera) was assigned to the district of Lugano East .
