Baku, also known as Baky or Bakı, is the largest city in the Caucasus and the capital of Azerbaijan. Baku is on the coast of the Caspian Sea on the southern tip of the Absheron Peninsula. There are three major divisions in Baku: İç?ri Ş?h?r (the ancient city), the Soviet built city, and the newest part of the city. The population as of January, 2003 reached 2,074,300 people.A curious fact about Baku is that its average year-round temperature (14.2 Centigrade) matches the average temperature of the entire landmass of the earth to within a tenth of degree. Summers are hot and humid, winters cool, wet and breezy. However, seasonal temperature excursions are less than in many continental regions at this latitude (about 40 degrees north) owing to the presence of the Caspian Sea. One of Baku's sister cities is Houston Texas, in the United States. Baku bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics but was eliminated on June 4th 2008.
Administratively, the city is divided into 10 raions (districts).Three of them (Darnytskyi, Desnianskyi, and Dniprovskyi raions) are located on the left (east) bank of the Dniepr river.Seven raions (Holosiyivskyi, Obolonskyi, Pecherskyi, Podilskyi , Shevchenkivskyi, Solomianskyi, Svyatoshynskyi) are located on the right (west) bank.As of the All-Ukrainian Census conducted in 2001, the population of Kiev is 2,611,000. It is a big city which is not easy to manage. That's why each district (raion) has its own unit of central and local government with jurisdiction over a limited scope of affairs.If you ask Kievans where they live, most likely, they will use another (non-formal) names to describe their neighborhoods. Most of them have lost their distinctive topographic limits since they got their original names from the times immemorial. But people still use those historical names.
Here are the most notable informal historical neighborhoods.
