What does "bank" mean in this context? I assume it has the same meaning as "sector" or "district"?

You are correct! "Bank" in this context indicates a sector or a district of a city. The West Bank is a section in Israel where the city of Jerusalem is located. A bank can also be a bank of a river, which means the edge of the river. Ex: He lives on the northern banks of the city. Ex: We are on the bank of the river.
