"Milky Way structure from large to small scales"

Abstract. Understanding the Milky Way structure and dynamics is important for understanding galaxy formation and evolution. In my talk, I will present a new model for the gas distribution in the inner galaxy, explain why it is important for dark matter search, and review other models and dynamical processes which might be important.
