The federal city of Moscow, Russia is divided into administrative districts called administrative okrugs, which are a subdivision of state administration. They are further divided into municipal formations called districts (raions) and settlements (poseleniy), which are local self-government entities.

Administratively, the city is divided into 12 administrative okrugs, which in turn are subdivided into 146 administrative units, which include 125 administrative districts and 21 administrative settlements. Municipally, each of the 146 administrative units have municipal status as 125 municipal okrugs, 19 municipal settlements, and 2 urban okrugs.[1] The municipalities of Shcherbinka and Troitsk are styled "urban okrugs" due to their former municipal status within the territory in Moscow Oblast which became New Moscow.
The city does not have a downtown area; the urban core is scattered across the city. Prominent business areas include Tverskoy, Arbat, and Presnensky Districts (the latter being home to the Moscow-City complex). Central Administrative Okrug as a whole has a large concentration of businesses. The city hall and major administration buildings are located in Tverskoy District (home to the Moscow Kremlin). Western Administrative Okrug is home to Moscow State University, Sparrow Hills and Mosfilm Studios, while North-Eastern hosts Ostankino Tower and VDNKh Exhibition Park. The total population of the Federal City of Moscow was 11,503,501 inhabitants at the Russian Census (2010).
On July 1, 2012, Moscow's land area grew by 1,490 sq km (580 sq mi), taking in territory from Moscow Oblast and called New Moscow.[2]
The territory of Kitay-gorod is not a part of any district and is governed directly by the administrative okrug.
