Assiano is a rural district ("quartiere") of Milan, Italy, part of the Zone 7 administrative division. It is a border district, at the western end of the city area. Before being annexed to Milan (in 1841), it was an autonomous comune, except for a brief period (1808-1816) when it was included in Cusago. Although administratively part of Milan, Assiano is quite isolated from the urban area and has maintained its rural character. A distinctive feature of Assiano and nearby rural areas is the presence of several ancient "fontanili", i.e., artificial water springs. The most important historic building in Assiano is the eponymous cascina (farmhouse), i.e., Cascina Assiano. In the past, the cascina has been the property of several notable Milanese families, including the Agnelli, the Feltrinelli, and the Migliavacca. Until the early 20th century, Cascina Assiano was the main driving force of the economy of the area, on which a number of other activities depended. For example, the local dairy factory "Gambini" was established to process milk produced in Cascina Assiano. Today, Cascina Assiano is publicly owned and abandoned (while the Gambini dairy factory has survived).

Before being annexed to Baggio (in 1869), which in turn was annexed to Milan, Muggiano used to an autonomous comune. The name Muggiano is of Roman origin; the place used to be called Modianus, after the governor of its territory, named Modius. Until the 1990s, Muggiano was mostly a scarcely populated, rural district, with a landscape dominated by cascine (farmhouses) and cultivated land. After that, a residential area has been created and the population has rapidly grown. Muggiano is about 10 km from the centre of Milan. As a consequence, it mostly depends on the nearby urban centres of Cesano Boscone and Baggio.

Quinto Romano (Milanese: Quint) is a district (quartiere) of Milan, Italy, part of the Zone 7 administrative division of the city. Before being annexed to Milan, it was an autonomous comune (until 1869) and a frazione of Trenno (from 1869 to 1923). Quinto Romano was a rural district until the 1960s; the land was then partitioned into 8-9 cascine (farms). In the following decades, as most of the Milanese rural outskirts, Quinto experienced a quick urbanization process as a consequence of the economic boom of northern Italy and immigration from the south, which caused a quick expansion of Milan and other industrial cities. As is the case with other outskirts that have experienced this rapid development in those decades, Quinto gained the reputation of a socially and economically degraded district. Quinto houses "Aquatica", the most important waterpark in Milan.
