This category brings together articles about the microdistricts of Nizhny Novgorod and the adjoining territories — both established residential areas and newly built-up quarters. Microdistricts shape the appearance of most of the city's districts: some of them, such as the Meshchersky Microdistrict and Shcherbinki, took shape in the Soviet period, while others are emerging as part of present-day integrated territorial development projects.
A special place among the new sites belongs to the city's southern direction: large-scale urban development projects are being carried out here, including the Olgino Integrated Development Zone and the associated Novinki (settlement), where large-scale commercial infrastructure is appearing alongside residential development.
