It could be your capital?

The mayor of Vladivostok has offered to move the capital from Moscow. I think that makes sense. Our country is not enough centers of civilization, and all the money and energy of the people are concentrated in Moscow, St. Petersburg and another pair of cities but Moscow takes the largest and most delicious piece. How to equip Russia, how to create a new growth point? Transfer of the capital - one of the options, but quite radical. It is necessary to spend a lot of money and effort to move the administrative offices, organize their work in a new place, to restructure the economy of the former capital. But I think all this will pay off. Another problem in the choice of new location: Vladivostok, Yekaterinburg, St. Petersburg or Kazan? Participants missing. Zhirinovsky offered to Magadan. This also has its own, the sad logic.

There are, however, other methods of redistribution of internal resources. Large construction projects, big international competition and economic forums - all this contributes to the development of the regions, which is implemented. And our city - a striking example. In recent years, Vladivostok has become a big construction site, and all thanks to the infrastructure projects implemented in the framework of preparation for the APEC summit, which took place last year. Let's look in more detail: what actually changed?





The bridge on the Russian island
The bridge over the Eastern Bosphorus Strait to Russian island unique. It is the longest cable-stayed span in the world - 1104 meters. The height of the pylons - 324 m, which is also a record. The bridge was built in 4 years.

Campus FEFU. From the bridge to the island of Russian logical move to the island itself, but rather to the fact that it was built - FEFU campus. By the way, it's more built-up area of ​​120 hectares, the area of ​​constructed buildings is 500 thousand. Sqm. The campus can accommodate more than 11 thousand students. Previously, there was so:

And now since:

The campus includes the humanities and the natural body, the 11-storey student center, a sports block, laboratory building. This is a city where all the conditions for studying, playing sports, and in general - for life. First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov - curator of the construction of the campus, is most proud of is built medical center FEFU - call it one of the best in Russia.

The bridge across the Golden Horn
The design of this bridge was conceived in the XIX century. But somehow it was not possible. That Russian-Japanese War, the First World, the revolution, and behind it and the Second World War. To carry out the project was only in the last year.

Another new interesting project. Construction promised to finish this year. I look forward to when I can take pictures of marine life :)



Construction



The width of the building under construction - 150 meters, total area - about 35 thousand sq. M. m. There will be an exposition housing with dolphinarium and a special scientific and adaptive body. The volume of water in the basin of the Primorye Oceanarium will be about 25 thousand tons, which is only five thousand tons less than the amount of water in the aquarium in Atlanta - the largest in the world. Involuntarily we take pride in our city.
In the photo - how it will look when finish building.

Over the past five years a lot has changed in Vladivostok. The city came to the really big money. It's hard to even imagine how much cost the construction of the island Russian. For the implementation of all infrastructure projects are posted First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov - the publication of his "Elephant" was called "official pusher, shifter anything off the ground." He leads projects, "which are economic, but there is also a very important political component and a clear timetable that can not pluck." It's like that. The interest of the federal government to Vladivostok is clear: there is a very real danger of losing the region, and if it does not develop, then the danger will become more real every day.

Of course, it is unlikely the authorities decide to transfer to us the capital, while the regions are drawn here by such summits and gigantic construction projects, but it seems to me that our city would have coped well with the role of the capital. We have a favorable geographical position, direct access to the Asia-Pacific region - one of the most dynamically developing today. Vladivostok could easily pull out Russia from the second row into the first. Easily. It is only necessary to decide and to make this bold step. It is unlikely that Moscow will lose its significance as an important economic center, there will be just a little less money and a white stone breathe calmly. She is the only benefit. But we would have received a powerful impetus to the development. What do you think, would be the capital of Vladivostok?

Thank you!)
