But it is already impossible to imagine Moscow today without its skyscrapers - this is one of the largest and at the same time controversial projects of the city, which literally every year becomes higher and wider and is visible from almost any point in the center of the capital. And if from afar the towers look beautiful, then as soon as Moscow City is not somewhere far away, but right in front of you, then even a person very far from urbanism and architecture understands that something has gone wrong. But did you know that initially the complex of high-rise buildings was conceived completely differently: instead of endless corridors of a shopping center there was supposed to be a park, and white-collar workers were supposed to be taken out by mini-metro and air taxi? The complex itself was supposed to be no worse than La Defense in Paris, the City of London and Manhattan in New York. But something went wrong.

To put it simply, I am an urbanist with an unhealthy love for transport. I am not an architect, so I will not tell you about the choice of materials or different styles of architecture, but I will tell you about the correct urban development policy, how to lay a tram, what a street should be like and how to make a park without drug addicts and alcoholics. -------- Timestamps: 00:00 Moscow City - a landmark or a problem? 01:37 Where are the secret tunnels under Moscow City 03:20 We need to do it like in America! 05:16 Luzhkov and the architecture of the new Russia 06:50 Test drive of Moscow City 08:32 The largest business district in Europe 12:16 Luzhkov: we need Delovoy Posad! 13:05 London City and the bankrupt district 16:10 Manhattan in New York - an ideal district? 17:05 The first houses of Moscow City 19:12 Where did the park disappear from the project? 22:04 Russia Tower — a kilometer-long skyscraper 22:39 Problems with skyscrapers 24:29 Underground labyrinths of Moscow City 27:03 Stupid mistakes of Moscow City 29:35 Problems with the metro and new commuter trains 31:52 Isolation, interchanges and a main bus 34:14 Air taxis and Luzhkov's monorails 36:37 Sobyanin against Moscow City?
