Rationale: Why have you chosen this case for the landscape and democracy seminar?

  • «My street» project is a big governmental project of Moscow. The aim of the project is to make the city center more comfortable for pedestrians and bring more cyclists to the city what is quite usual for any developing big city. The first phase of the program (2014-2015 years) will focus on creating new pedestrian zones within and outside the central part of town – about 50 kilometers of pedestrian streets and especially areas near the metro and transport interchange nodes. There is also a big target to make the city greener. According to Moscow Government, the project is one of the main directions for the city improvement in the coming years.

However, the project doesn’t involve people’s opinion and creates a lot of problems for pedestrians and car drivers and in fact makes cycle lanes useless because of fast and not accurate design.

Reflection

=== What are the major challenges for changing the situation? The aim in general is very generous as the government wants to change the city and the city becomes more democratic to pedastrians as the reduction of cars is really visible even on now-stage of the program. However, there also are negative sides: -The approach is very „bold“ and fast -The design which is creating for the people does not involve people‘s opinion and interaction -A huge budget expenses is spent on expensive materials, however, there are a lot of social issues that could be solved by this money -streets are loosing identity and locals loose their usual perception of their home streets -the project which aimes to make city more for people is not democratic itself. Projects are not available anywhere and people just get what they get.===

What could be a starting point for democractically-based change?
