Work continues on the reconstruction of the Moscow Monorail, in place of which a unique park will be created at a height of six meters above the ground.

"In 2027, a unique park will appear on the site of the outdated transport system. This will be Russia's first year-round promenade park at a height of six meters. The area will connect five districts—Ostankino, Alekseevsky, Timiryazevsky, Marfino, and Butyrsky—home to over 300,000 people. The city's new pedestrian artery will connect VDNKh Park, Ostankino Park, the Botanical Garden, and Timiryazevsky Park into a single route and, of course, offer stunning views of our beloved Moscow," he wrote on his channel.

The Moscow Monorail was built over 20 years ago. The approximately five-kilometer-long line had six stations.

From 2004 to 2007, the line operated as a tourist route, with trains running every 30 minutes. Since 2008, the line has been used as regular public transport, with monorail trains running every six minutes.

With the opening of the Moscow Central Circle and the extension of the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya metro line in 2016, Muscovites began using the monorail less frequently. Moreover, half of its route is duplicated by tram routes 11, 17, and 25, and partially by about 20 other ground transit routes. Consequently, the monorail was reverted to a tour-only mode. In recent years, fewer than two thousand people used it per day, with over 90 percent of those passengers being tourists. Thus, the monorail effectively lost its transportation function.

In this regard, Muscovites were proposed to create Russia's first year-round elevated promenade park on the monorail infrastructure. This idea was strongly supported by the majority of voters in the Active Citizen project.

Muscovites voted to create a park on the monorail site, according to Sergei Sobyanin.

The park, covering over 40,000 square meters, will be open 24 hours a day and will become a modern, comfortable space for sports, walks, family recreation, and gatherings with friends. The park is planned to feature a four-kilometer running track with two-way access, walking paths, cafes and restaurants, exhibition spaces, and cozy recreation areas with flower beds and trees. Thus, the monorail, which has served Muscovites for many years, will be given a second life.

The demolition of a one-kilometer section from the former Vystavochny Tsentr monorail station to the depot, including the former Ulitsa Sergei Eisensteina station, has now been completed. This has opened up a panoramic view of the main entrance to VDNKh.

In addition, the area around the former Sergei Eisenstein Street station is being improved. All work is being carried out in strict compliance with safety regulations.

Reconstruction of the preserved monorail stations "Exhibition Center", "Akademika Korolev Street", "Telecenter", "Milashenkova Street" and "Timiryazevskaya" is underway.

A new green space will connect five districts in the northeast of the capital: Ostankinsky, Alekseevsky, Timiryazevsky, Marfino, and Butyrsky. These districts are home to over 300,000 people. The park will serve as a new pedestrian artery for the city, linking VDNKh Park, Ostankino Park, the Botanical Garden, and Timiryazevsky Park into a single route. With panoramic views of the city and proximity to the country's main exhibition center and the Ostankino TV Tower, this area will become a new tourist attraction for the capital.

The park will offer everything you need for comfortable relaxation and leisure: shelters with protection from the elements, easy navigation, free Wi-Fi, park furniture with charging stations for gadgets, vending machines, and drinking fountains.

Five of the six monorail stations will be preserved and transformed into two-story park pavilions. For example, "Telecenter" will become a venue for media projects and installations, while "Milashenkova Street" will become a functional exhibition hall. The former "Vystavochny Tsentr" station will house an observation deck overlooking the main entrance to VDNKh and the "Worker and Kolkhoz Woman" monument.

Access to the park will be through the reconstructed pavilion stations or one of eight specially constructed additional staircases. The area will be well-lit, including architectural lighting, making it comfortable to explore not only during the day but also in the evening. For the safety of residents and tourists, a video surveillance system will be installed, and access by bicycles and scooters will be restricted.

In memory of the Moscow Monorail, two trains are planned to be preserved, allowing park visitors to examine them in detail. They are planned to be located at the Ulitsa Akademika Korolev station and near the turnaround loop at Timiryazevskaya station. Visitors will be able to learn about the monorail's history on special information boards. Furthermore, a section of the track will be preserved at the observation decks, with comfortable benches installed directly on it.

The new park is expected to be visited by up to 20,000 people a day, which is 10 times more than the number of people using the monorail.

Experts are currently finalizing the park's comprehensive architectural concept. Completion and opening to Moscow residents and visitors is planned for 2027.

Similar projects to create parks on the sites of obsolete transport infrastructure have been implemented in major cities around the world. For example, the High Line in New York City (USA) and the Goods Line in Sydney (Australia) were built on the site of former railway lines, while the Skygarden in Seoul (South Korea) replaced an old highway overpass.

Sergei Sobyanin explained how public spaces in the North-Eastern Administrative Okrug will be transformed.

Since the beginning of the year, the city has adopted 46 integrated territorial development (ITD) decisions. These include the redevelopment of 263 hectares of inefficiently used land. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction. Vladimir Efimov.

"New neighborhoods in the place of depressed areas, as part of integrated territorial development, are being created with an optimal balance of residential and non-residential properties in mind. Thus, the 46 KRT projects adopted since the beginning of the year envisage the construction of over 7.5 million square meters of real estate. Of this, almost 2.4 million square meters will be public and business infrastructure. Forty KRT projects are being implemented by operators, and the rest by rights holders and investors selected through open auctions. As a result, approximately 76,000 additional jobs will be created in the city," said Vladimir Efimov.

The projects are planned to be implemented across 42 districts in nine administrative districts. Most of the sites are located near high-speed rail stations.

"The largest of the 46 KRT projects in the Khoroshevsky District in the north of the capital will create the most jobs for the city. There, they plan to redevelop 73.6 hectares of land on the former Magistralnye Ulitsy industrial zone. The project will create a modern urban quarter, including residential complexes, public, business, and social facilities, including schools for over 4,000 students and kindergartens for over 1,700 children.

The third season of the career guidance program for ninth-graders has begun at the Moscow center. Professions of the FutureMore than 75,000 students will take part in it. Soon, 10th-grade students from Moscow schools will join the career guidance program. Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

"We see how consciously today's graduates approach their career paths. Ninth grade is especially important for students—the time when they first make the difficult decision: whether to continue their education after tenth grade or pursue a career through college. A key goal of Moscow education is to create the conditions for every student in the capital to maximize their potential. To help students explore all their opportunities and build their individual model for success, we've been running a comprehensive career guidance program for three years now, the first stage of which is taking place at the Professions of the Future center. Over the past academic year, over 70,000 students participated. They trust our specialists and choose promising areas of study. This year, another 75,000 students will receive career guidance. Furthermore, we've decided to expand the project: tenth-grade students from Moscow schools will soon join in," said Anastasia Rakova.

She also noted that at the "Professions of the Future" center, every ninth-grader can take an interactive tour and learn about in-demand professions using innovative services. Participants explore the world of modern professions using a 5D cinema, unique in Russia. Virtual reality technology allows them to try out different professions and gain their first hands-on experience in an interactive format.

The program's key stage is career guidance testing, after which students are invited to individual consultations with career mentors to decipher their results. Specialists help each student develop a personal model for success. The center also hosts meetings with representatives from Moscow colleges, who introduce the students to their educational programs.

The project gives schoolchildren the opportunity not only to learn about the most suitable careers but also to try them out for themselves during professional tryouts in workshops and laboratories at 48 Moscow colleges, as well as to visit specialized city businesses. This year, students will be able to complete three professional tryouts in recommended fields and choose a career or college within the industry. This approach will allow them to better understand the specifics of a particular profession and become familiar with the educational institution.

This year, approximately 500 employers and college partners will join the program, organizing tours of their campuses for students. Last year, ninth-graders visited approximately 250 leading Moscow companies.

Students can register for college tryouts and excursions independently after taking the test at the "Professions of the Future" center. To do this, select the desired tryout or excursion in the "Student Portfolio" service at the Moscow Electronic School and click "I want to attend." The school will then confirm the student's registration and participation.

The program places special emphasis on working with parents, who play a crucial role in teenagers' career choices. For them, the "Professions of the Future" center has organized a special "PROSuburban" format: monthly experts meet with parents and introduce them to promising professions and current demands of the Moscow labor market.

Since the launch of the comprehensive career guidance program, the number of participants has exceeded 130,000 people.

As Sergei Sobyanin noted in the strategy for the development of the Moscow social protection system,2030The comprehensive career guidance program will continue to expand in the capital. Every teenager will be able to make an informed choice about their future profession.
