The expansion of the borders of the capital has been talked for a long time, but no one can provide clear data. Recently, Deputy Mayor Marat Khusnullin announced the decision of the authorities. They plan to increase the territory by 144 thousand. hectare from the southwestern part of the region. To master such a number of land will take about 20 years, but everything will happen gradually. Over the next 5 years, government agencies will move to the first mastered territories.
A visual example is the move of the presidential administration and the White House beyond the Borders of the Moscow Ring Road. Since the leadership itself will move, the rest of the officials will not have a choice, and they will move after the president.
A clear goal has been set – over 20 years to complete one hundred percent development of territories, which will pull the change in the General Plan of Moscow.
According to the press secretary of the Government of the Russian Federation, the move will be a very painstaking and difficult event. Everything consists in infrastructure. First you need to clearly design and prepare everything. After will become a question in the energy systems. Here is the same task of bringing the necessary communications and reservation of lines. There is no clear action plan yet, but, according to Dmitry Peskov, the authorities will cope with all the difficulties.
The issue of moving the government beyond the line of the current borders has been discussed more than once, because constant traffic jams because of motorcade with flashing lights and deputies were tired. Secondly, it is very unprofitable to maintain the authorities in the center of the capital. World practice shows that all the cultural property of the capitals of the world are used as attractions. Thirdly, if the Moscow Kremlin becomes it, then 27.5 hectares of urban space will be released, which will greatly facilitate movement around the city.
