Map of Moscow administrative okrugs

The federal city of Moscow, Russia is divided into ten administrative okrugs, which are in turn subdivided into districts (raions). The city does not have a downtown area; the urban core is scattered across the city. Prominent business areas include Kitai-Gorod in the very center, Tverskoy District, Arbat District, and Presnya (home to the future Moscow-City complex) to the east. Central Administrative Okrug as a whole has a large concentration of businesses. The city hall and major administration buildings are located in Tverskoy District and Kitai-Gorod (home to the Moscow Kremlin). The Western Administrative Okrug is home to Moscow State University, Sparrow Hills, The Mosfilm Studios, and the famous Novodevichy Convent.
