Over the past decade, during the process of reorganizing abandoned industrial zones in Moscow, 1,115 facilities have been built and put into operation, with a total area of more than 38.4 million square meters, according to Andrei Bochkarev, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Policy and Construction.
These indicators indicate the attractiveness of these territories for investors and the correctly chosen strategy for urban development of Moscow as a whole. In addition, 534 housing projects were built, including multifunctional complexes, with a total area of more than 29.8 million square meters, Bochkarev emphasized.
The head of the Department of Urban Development Policy of Moscow, Sergei Levkin, also noted that in addition to housing, a significant part of the facilities under construction include social, sports, entertainment and retail and household purposes, creating new jobs, reports aif.ru.
Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Economic Policy and Property and Land Relations Vladimir Efimov emphasized that the result of the integrated development program for territories, implemented since 2020, was a residential building with a medical center and a school on the site of the former Oktyabrskoye Pole industrial zone.
The total number of plots of former industrial zones and inefficiently used areas of the capital subject to transformation under the program is 188. It is planned to build more than 35 million square meters of real estate on these plots, Efimov added.
