Moscow Urban Forum 2013

Megacities: Success Beyond the Centre is the key theme of the Moscow Urban Forum 2013. This is an issue the most European capital cities have been actively seeking to resolve for the past 20 years. London tackled it in the eighties with its Greater London project; Paris is dealing with it today through its Greater Paris strategy. As for Rome, it has recently addressed the issue in the Greater Rome development projects, similar to the Great Moscow project. The overwhelming majority of the Moscow population lives outside the city center, and the development potential for the suburbs of such megacities is huge.
Organized in conjunction with the Moscow City Government, the 2013 Forum will address the critical questions facing the city:
How to create or increase the value of the suburbs?
How to deal with transportation issues?
How to choose the most appropriate development strategy consistent with modern realities?
Where to look for growth areas: in the so-called New Moscow, the old residential districts, the industrial zones or the satellite cities?
