Sobyanin spoke about the improvement of abandoned territories in Moscow

The project of reorganizing the former Oktyabrskoye Pole industrial zone in Moscow is almost completed, said the mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin. He spoke about the implementation of the Integrated Territorial Development Program (CDT), launched in 2020.

According to the KRT projects, the Moscow authorities are reviving former industrial zones and land plots that were used inefficiently, the mayor recalled. The first agreement on the reorganization of 5.92 hectares in the former October Field industrial zone was signed on July 8, 2020.

"The project is almost completed today. The investor built residential buildings, a school and a business center," Sobyanin said on the Telegram channel. This year, a three-building residential complex has been erected on the site, and the surrounding areas are being improved.

In total, 336 CRT projects are being implemented in the capital at various stages. Each of them provides for landscaping. Parks, squares, alleys and other natural areas will occupy a significant part of the land.

According to the mayor of Moscow, active construction work is underway at six sites — in the districts of Voykovsky, Timiryazevsky, Khoroshevsky, Troitsk, Pechatniki and Zyuzino. Almost half of the built real estate will be occupied by public, business and industrial infrastructure. The rest is residential development, including for the purposes of the renovation program, Sobyanin stressed.

In particular, a business center for 3.5 thousand people will be built in Dmitrovsky Passage on the site of an unfinished parking garage. A residential area, commercial and social facilities, including a kindergarten, a school and a sports complex will be built in the Brattsevo industrial zone.
