- Central: houses the colonial old city.
- Southern: is mainly industrial and residential, and a working-class housing area.
- Northern: is the modern Quito, with high-rise buildings, shopping centers, the financial district, and upper-class residential areas and some working-class housing areas. It is the location of Mariscal Sucre International Airport.
