Zelyony Gorod

Zelyony Gorod ( _ru. Зелёный Город, literally 'Green City') is a forested areain the south-eastern suburbs of Nizhny Novgorod in Russia. It is a surviving part of a much larger forest area that existed here centuries ago. Geographically, it is locatedin the north-western part of Kstovsky District, between Nizhny Novgorod and Kstovo, and is bounded roughly by Highway M-7 and Pavlovo-Royka-Zeletsino railway from the north and the Kudma river in the south.

Administratively, Zelyony Gorod is incorporated as a "resort settlement",i.e. a town-like jurisdiction geared to maintenance and protecion of resort areas. Although geographically entirely located within the suburban Kstovsky District, Zelyony Gorod is administered by the city of Nizhny Novgorod.

There is little permanent population in Zelyony Gorod (2,300, as of 2005), but many resort facilities,children's summer camps, etc. (originally built by the Soviet state or labor unions) are located there.As of 2007, an upscale single-family housing development is being built on the southern outskirts of Zelyony Gorod (the Rassvet area), near the Kudma.
