Since 2014, a unique platform "City of Ideas" gives residents of the capital the opportunity to make proposals for the development of various spheres of life in the capital. More than 626 thousand people have already joined it, and almost nine thousand ideas have already been implemented in practice. Sergei Sobyanin spoke about how Muscovites are changing the city's sports life in his blog.
“They became especially successful
projects in the field of sports, I spoke about some of them recently. But the residents' proposals are not limited to the creation of new sports grounds. The discussion of various initiatives for the development of publicly accessible physical education and sports has generated enormous interest among Muscovites," the Moscow Mayor wrote.
Participants of a special project in the format of a media platform "The city discusses Moscow sports", organized in March 2025, became almost 100 thousand people, and almost 30 thousand Muscovites within the framework of thematic projects proposed more than five thousand different ideas. Of these, the city took 176 best proposals into work. To date, 34 ideas of city residents have already been implemented.
Walking and running festival, immersive tours and parkour
Thus, in June, on the initiative of Muscovites, the walking and running festival "10,000 steps" was held. On the Boulevard Ring, 250 thousand city residents took part in mass running and walking starts, master classes, sports training, immersive excursions, dancing and other events.
A Nordic walking marathon took place on Tverskoy Boulevard, and an international yoga day took place in Tsaritsyno.
Parkour is actively developing in Moscow. From the beginning of summer until City Day, an extreme park with labyrinths and arches for performing various tricks was opened in Luzhniki. It will operate until City Day as part of the event "Moscow 2030. Sports. Man of the Future".

The forum site has several phygital zones where anyone can either practice independently or take part in master classes and tournaments. You can try yourself in phygital hockey, basketball, football, dancing and laser tag.
Thanks to the project "My Sports District" Moscow residents can join Zumba and dance fitness training for free, as well as do yoga and stretching on the roofs of the district centers "Mesto Vstrechi" (Meeting Place).
City residents can also play team sports (football, volleyball, basketball, table tennis, badminton), fitness, running, roller sports, aqua aerobics, wushu. And also go skating on the open rink in Luzhniki. In total, this summer, within the framework of the project, you can practice 15 sports on 139 sites.
Muscovites actively support the development of adaptive sports for children with autism and disabilities. Special training helps children not only improve their physical fitness, but also improve their communication skills. This year, they are trained in track and field, cross-country skiing, swimming, table tennis, taekwondo and alpine skiing. Monthly event announcements posted on mos.ru.
“Thanks to the City of Ideas project, every Muscovite can contribute to the development of the city, and I encourage everyone to share their ideas and proposals,” concluded Sergei Sobyanin.
