Northern Administrative Okrug

The Northern Administrative Okrug is an administrative region in Moscow spanning sixteen districts, including Aeroport, Begovoy, and Dmitrovsky. The area combines residential neighborhoods with commercial and industrial zones that stretch from the city center to the northern edges of Moscow.

This administrative territory was created in July 1991 as part of Moscow's municipal reorganization. The restructuring aimed to improve how the expanding city managed its growing districts and services.

Multiple education centers, public spaces, and district councils maintain community services across the sixteen neighborhoods within this administrative division.

The area is well connected by public transportation with several metro stations providing access to different parts of the region. Visitors should note that the territory spans a large area, so using transport between locations is practical.

The Aeroport district contains headquarters of major Russian aircraft manufacturers like Irkut, Ilyushin, and Yakovlev. This presence makes the area a significant center for aviation industry activity, visible in the district's buildings and economic life.
