Moscow is one of the leaders among the world's megacities in many indicators of transport development. Guests of the exhibition "That Same Moscow" of the forum "Territory of the Future. Moscow 2030", which will last in the Central Exhibition Hall "Manezh" until August 31, can learn about the structure of the capital's modern transport framework and what changes await it over the next five years.
Enjoy a variety of city travel options and road safety leadership
The transport industry is one of the most high-tech in modern Moscow. Today, every resident and guest of the capital can use almost two dozen different types of transport. Among them are the metro, the Moscow Central Circle, the Moscow Central Diameters, the Aeroexpress, long-distance trains, buses, trams, electric buses, intercity and international buses, taxis, car sharing, bicycles and scooters for rent, a cable car, air transport – this is many times more than in most other megacities.
A wide range of travel options around the city has become possible thanks to the Moscow transport development program until 2030. One of its main goals is to make transport even more comfortable, safer and more accessible for city residents. And this goal has almost been achieved today. More than 90 percent of Muscovites live within walking distance of metro stations. In addition, the time that residents of the capital spend on travel is constantly decreasing. Today, over 3.3 million people can save up to half an hour a day, or 10 hours a month, thanks to the development of the transport framework.
In the near future, the number of ground and underground metro stations will increase to 517. This will entail the expansion of the road network and the development of ground public transport, which will become even more environmentally friendly. Moscow is the leader among European cities in the number of electric buses – more than 2.4 thousand of these vehicles operate in the city.
The Russian capital was the first in the world to open year-round regular river routes for electric transport. Today, the city has three regular river routes, with 29 innovative electric vessels operating on them. Thanks to the launch of regular river trips, more than 1.5 million residents of 18 districts of the capital have gained access to a new type of transport. In addition, Moscow continues to be the leader in road safety in Russia. Thus, since 2011, it has been possible to save about three thousand lives.
The pace and scale of construction and modernization of the transport system are planned to be maintained until 2030. Despite the high-tech, the capital does not forget about traditions and aesthetics. For example, the Moscow Metro has become a real city landmark, which is known throughout the world.
Learn about large-scale transport projects of the future and see the city of dreams
The city and its engineers face major challenges in implementing major federal infrastructure projects. This includes the development of the Central Transport Hub, which covers 11 regions of Russia, as well as the construction of high-speed highways.
The implementation of the transport development strategy will make the capital's technologically advanced and comfortable transport even more convenient. You can find out what has already been achieved and what is yet to be implemented in Manezh. A large educational and interactive exhibition for the whole family, "That Same Moscow", is taking place here, presenting the city's achievements in the field of transport, urban development and industry.
Visitors can learn what the capital's metro and Leningradsky railway station will look like after a large-scale modernization, ground transportation and railways following the implementation of the Moscow transport complex development program. In the urban transport simulators located in the street part of the exhibition, everyone can feel like a driver or a train driver. A prototype of a tunnel boring machine, which is used to lay metro tunnels, is also presented here for the first time.
In the Muzeon Arts Park, it is worth visiting the multimedia pavilion "The Art of Building". Visitors are shown an interactive show about the creation and development of a dream city using Moscow as an example. Guests will also learn about the development of road and transport infrastructure.
In the 50th Anniversary of October Park, on the podium of the Engineering workshops, you can try to build a miniature metropolis transport infrastructure. Based on a unique eco-friendly construction kit created and released in the capital, guests get acquainted with the basics of engineering. Children and their parents learn about design, construction and load-bearing structures. Anyone who wants to can build the first bridges and construct prototypes of Moscow buildings and transport arteries of the city. Guests are told about the design, repair and customization of bicycles and motorcycles, and are also introduced to the principles of operation of electric motors.
In the game space "The Art of Building" in "Luzhniki" you can create an entire city. At the master class "Cardboard City" participants will be asked to build houses from cardboard, as well as design social and transport infrastructure. Here everyone will be able to feel like a real builder of the future.
Moscow is a city where the technologies of the future are already being used today. Children play on technologically advanced sports grounds, learn with the help of innovative technologies, and use recommendations from artificial intelligence. Adults operate robots in production, move around the city in modern transport, receive advanced medical therapy, and much more.
Even more technologies of the future can be found at the large-scale forum "Territory of the Future. Moscow 2030". It is being held as part of the project "Summer in Moscow" from August 1 to September 14. Dozens of venues host cultural, sports, educational and other events dedicated to the development of one of the most modern megacities in the world. Information about the venues and a detailed program are available on the official website Moskov 2030.mos.ru.
