New Moscow, Moscow
New Moscow (Russian: Новая Москва, romanized: Novaya Moskva)[1] or "Greater Moscow" (not to be confused with the 1925 Greater Moscow) are the territories annexed to Moscow in 2012 in the course of the largest project to expand the territory of Moscow in the entire history of the administrative-territorial division of the city. The main goals of the project are to dismantle the traditional monocentric structure of the Moscow agglomeration, as well as streamline urban zoning, giving the newly annexed territories a distinct administrative and governmental specialization.[2][3]

New Moscow corresponds to today's Novomoskovsky Administrative Okrug, Troitsky Administrative Okrug, and outer parts of the Western Administrative Okrug
