What will be the Moscow embankments





The competition is hosted by the Government of Moscow, that they generally deal with very often. The idea is very correct - to create along the coast of the Moskva River comfortable public space. People in general tend to spend time near the water, so the authorities of any city should take care of that it was comfortable occupation. Currently, most of the coast of the Moscow River not undeveloped in many of these places, even for a short while to appear does not want. Meanwhile, it is 201 km of coastline and nearly 8, 5000 hectares in the city. Of them are equipped with only 25%.



The task of the competition - to develop an overall concept for the development of these partially abandoned areas. It was necessary to propose a plan for the conversion of embankments in one bound public space that would fit well in the city.
The winner was announced yesterday at the Moscow Urban Forum. They became bureau "Project Meganom" under the direction of Yuri Grigoryan, known PCB design house "Morning of Russia", "color" and a number of other projects.



Grigoryan proposes to create 37 urban "port of the future" - as he calls the area near the water, surrounded by buildings. 26 of them will have the value of the district, and 11 - city.

Another important aspect - transport. Now water transport in Moscow is not very well developed and poorly connected to all the others. In addition to pedestrian bridges, planned to build a new transport office and create interchange nodes that will connect the ground, underground and river transport modes. In addition, the project involves the abandonment of dumping into the river.



Each of the six finalists will receive 4 million rubles in compensation for the development of the concept. The winner will receive an additional 6 million rubles and a contract to participate in the development of the final draft, but the mayor's office said that he was going to use the ideas of all teams advancing to the finals, their projects can be found on the online contest. The final concept will be presented in the spring, and everything will be implemented by 2035. After 20 years - and in place of Moscow will be a garden city.
