The territory of Moscow: administrative districts and districts

The territorial units, which are formed taking into account the town-planning, geographical, historical features, as well as the population, transport communications, social and economic characteristics, engineering infrastructure and many other features, are the territory of Moscow and the areas to which it is divided. For the status of each border are determined by a special law. The regional administration administers each territory. The map scheme of Moscow shows this division well.

History

To designate the administrative unit of the city as a district in 1917, earlier it was called "part" (hence the word "precinct"). The boundaries of the Moscow districts have been repeatedly changed, the last division was in 1991. Then were introduced and such terms as administrative districts, which consisted of municipal districts. In addition, there were units of territories with special status.

In 1995, the municipal district was repealed by a legal act and replaced by districts, and their borders remained basically the same. For today in Moscow there are twelve districts, one hundred and twenty-five districts and twenty-one settlements. To each separate administrative area there corresponds a municipal formation. If you look at how the scheme of Moscow looks like in previous years, you can follow the changes that have taken place with the boundaries of the city.

The most populated of the districts that contains the territory of Moscow is Marino. With a large margin from the neighbors, he leads: in 2010, its population was 243.32 thousand people.

Located in the heart of Moscow, the Central Administrative District contains ten districts. On its area of 66.18 square kilometers there are about 750 thousand people. On the map of the city, this district occupies only six percent. It is not large, its borders are practically untouched since the nineteenth century. Here, the largest number of organizations and institutions, many theaters, government buildings, including the Kremlin, almost all the ministries of Russia, the Government House, the State Duma, the Federation Council, a huge number of office buildings and various shopping centers. Other districts of Moscow also have many attractions on their territories, but the CAO is in the lead here unreservedly.

Of the nine Moscow stations, six are located on the territory of the Central Administrative District. At the moment, many enterprises take out of the city, so that the territory of Moscow does not suffer from industrial and transport emissions. On the places of factories and offices are opened offices and cultural centers. The largest number of monuments of architecture, history and culture is not even the capital, but the whole country is in the territory of the Central Administrative District. Here the Kremlin, the Tretyakov Gallery, the Lenin Library and much more. Immediately located the most significant retail outlets of the country - TSUM, GUM and others. Almost every house has a restaurant, cafe or bar, and often all of them are bundled, and not in one.

But the street Arbat is famous no less: there are theaters, entertainment, historical relics, stray musicians, street artists and many, many small shops. Each house of the Arbat sheltered for a long long time, not one legendary person. Along the river there is Yakimanka Street. Previously, almost every house had its own wharf. And in the west of the region, sky-high skyscrapers of the business center-Moscow City-have risen.

Also there are many monuments of architecture, history, there are reserves, museums, magnificent temples. The southern district of Moscow is very well adapted to the comfortable living of people.

New Moscow

Many wonder why the capital needed the territory of New Moscow? Everything is very simple. A multi-million city, which, like all megacities, is characterized by problems of population crowding, inefficiencies in the use of urban space, bad ecology and transport collapse, suffers and suffocates. All these problems the government is trying to solve, redistributing and optimizing human and transport resources.

The territory of New Moscow, joined in 2011, increased the area of the capital by two and a half times. Now Moscow is among the first ten megacities not only in terms of population, but also in area. Now the city is bordered by the neighboring Kaluga region. The new policy of the city authorities is that business activity and industry will gradually leave the historical center of Moscow, which will be only an object of cultural and historical heritage.

Moscow Region

Moscow and Moscow region are unequal in all respects. Naturally, much more attention is paid to the capital. The region even the administrative center is not fully defined. It would seem that Moscow and the Moscow Region are one, but no, most of the regional government is located in Krasnogorsk.

The Moscow region consists of twenty-nine districts with thirty-two cities, two urban-type settlements and five closed administrative-territorial entities.
