The oldest parts of Brno-sever are the former villages of Husovice, Soběšice and Zábrdovice, whose development dates back to the Middle Ages.

The suburban villa and residential development of Černá Pole was created only during the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as the "New Husovice" around the Republic Square.

In the interwar period, workers' quarters also grew up here, both planned (e.g. semi-detached houses on Míčková street according to the project of Bohuslav Fuchs)[2] and emergency ones (Divišova čtvrť, Písečník).

An important change was the construction of the new "Tišnovka" in the early 1950s and the subsequent cancellation of the original line that separated Husovice from Zábrdovice and Černá Pole.

In the years 1996–1998, the Husovice tunnel was built as part of the circuit on the territory of the city district, thanks to which the traffic in Černá Pole on Provazníkova and Merhautova streets was relieved.

As a follow-up to this tunnel, a major reconstruction of the intersection at Tomek Square into a level crossing is underway from 2021, in connection with which some other remnants of the old development were disposed of.

[citation needed] On the territory of Brno-sever there are, for example, the buildings of the Mendel University in Brno, the regional Trade Office, the Museum of Romani Culture, a children's hospital, the MIMI FORTUNAE Dance Theater, the Poor Clares Monastery in Šibešice or the Villa Tugendhat, the only UNESCO monument in Brno.

Night transport is provided by bus lines 92, 93 (Černá Pole, Lesná, Soběšice), 94 (Husovice) and marginally 97 and 99 (Cejl).
