New public spaces

• New public space

Over the past few years in Moscow there was a record number of public spaces. If you believe the city authorities, landscaped around 190 objects from 2013. It parks, squares, boulevards. So for example, only for 2013-2014 years it has created more than 108 "people's park" with a total area of ​​200 hectares. To this you can add more squares that appeared on the program of creating parks along the Garden Ring, and as a result of the program "My Street". We gathered at Moscow Live photo pair as everything has changed. See:

Previously on Big Dmitrovka between houses 12/1 Building 1 and 16, the housing 1 was an old mansion. In 2005 it was demolished and began to prepare the site for the construction of a new building. But something went wrong. Five years later, the city authorities have terminated the contract with investors, and the place has long been abandoned: it took cars and garbage containers. Impetus for change has given the Brazilian artist Eduardo Kobra, draw a huge street art on a wall at home. He portrayed in his trademark style, bright scene from the ballet "Swan Lake" performed by Maya Plisetskaya. As a result, 20 November 2015 on the site right under the huge street art pitched Square. The date was chosen deliberately. On this day, the great ballerina would have turned 90 years old. The space of the square was paved with tiles, planted and benches installed on it and the new vintage lights. Now we are discussing the issue of the installation of the monument in the square of Maya Plisetskaya and possible decoration of street art is still a wall of the house overlooking the park. It was

Initially, at the end of Lord of the lane was planned construction of the second stage of a multifunctional complex "Weapon", but it turned out quite differently. For a long time there was the usual fenced vacant lot with trees and abandoned building structures. As a result, on the site of a vacant lot on the square did have the above program to create parks along the Garden Ring. Here, all paved with tiles, planted young trees and installed street lighting, designer benches and urns.

Until recently, most of the small area next to the house №22 / 2 to Spiridonovka street food stalls occupied. Recently we got rid of them. Now on this same spot smashed a small park. It planted trees, put benches and urns, and established a new type of navigation stele.

One of the clearest examples of the new national park - Park of the 70th anniversary of the Victory. Previously, there was a vacant lot, a large part of which is occupied by the garage cooperatives. Then, when in 2007-2008 here extended Bolotnikovskuyu street, the place began to slowly come to life. First, here we put the football box and bike rental station, and then set up a full park. In addition to standard benches, flower beds, walking paths and trees, there appeared a skate park, street workout area, an amphitheater and several playgrounds. It was

Next on the same street Bolotnikovskoy absolutely spontaneously arose other public area. Due to the fact that the continuation of Bolotnikovskoy streets of Sevastopol Novocheremushkinskaya Avenue to the streets for a long time was closed, locals began to use it for their needs. Then it was completely finished, asphalt road, which is just blocked by concrete blocks. For all the principles of tactical urbanism free territory turned into a public zone. Children and adolescents began to ride here on the rollers, sects and bicycles, while others simply chalked on the pavement. Unfortunately, after a couple of years, the way was opened for vehicles and makeshift skate park disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.

Definitely one of the best new public spaces appeared on Triumph Square. Affected by holding an open architectural competition, which was won by the result BUROMOSCOW. Foot space has increased in the area several times.

And on the street Academica Artsimovich is a small pond that has been preserved here since the time when this place was a village of Serino. By some miracle he survived after a quarter of construction, but, unfortunately, became shallow and heavily swamped. Around him was a garage complex, which is fenced off pond from streets and yards, which is why he did not use very popular among the locals. In 2011, the area around the pond landscaped. Garages demolished and in their place put a basketball box and a small playground. Sam pond cleaned, strengthened its shores and made asphalted walking paths around it. It was

Another good example of creating public spaces - Crimean embankment. Once occupied by a noisy four-lane road, it became one of the best hiking areas of Moscow. Now it can be considered a new city landmark.
