Avtozavodsky City District, District d'Avtozavodsky, City district in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia

Avtozavodsky City District spans 94 square kilometers in the southwest region of Nizhny Novgorod, situated on the left bank of the Oka River.

The district emerged in 1932 around the Gorky Automobile Plant, transforming from an area of 30,000 residents into a major industrial center with over 300,000 inhabitants.

The district name reflects its industrial heritage, deriving from the Russian words for automobile factory, highlighting the connection between manufacturing and local identity.

Residents access multiple transportation options including Strigino International Airport, metro stations, and two City Rail stations that connect to central Nizhny Novgorod.

The Myza Bridge serves as a critical infrastructure link between Avtozavodsky and Prioksky City District, facilitating daily movement across the Oka River.

Most populated cities in Europe: ranking of capitals and metropolises by inhabitants

This ranking includes the most populous cities in Europe in 2025, from Moscow with 11.62 million inhabitants to Budapest with 1.7 million. It features major European capitals like London, Berlin, Madrid, Rome, and Paris, as well as Saint Petersburg, Vienna, and Hamburg. These metropolitan areas are the continent's main demographic centers, each with its own history, architecture, and legacy. The selection is based on the municipal population of each city. Some cities surprise with their size, such as London, which covers an area fourteen times larger than Paris, or Rome, which extends over a territory twelve times greater than the French capital. Others are distinguished by their major economic roles, such as Hamburg, which hosts Germany's largest port, or by their internationally recognized quality of life, like Vienna. These destinations invite exploration of European urban diversity from east to west.
