Specialists urban economy complex In 2025, about 400 large trees were planted near the clinics. The work was carried out as part of the second stage of their reconstruction program.new Moscow standardThis was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Public Utilities and Urban Development Petr Biryukov.

"Not only the medical facilities themselves, which were completely renovated according to the new Moscow standard, but also the surrounding areas, have received a new look. The spaces have been designed in a unified style: convenient pedestrian paths have been created, modern lighting and benches have been installed, and rest areas have been created where possible. Landscaping is an important final stage of all city improvement projects. Nearly 400 large trees have been planted on the grounds of the renovated clinics," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

Green spaces are crucial for creating a comfortable urban environment. They effectively purify the air, protect against street noise, and prevent the spread of road dust. When choosing tree species for landscaping, preference is given to those that adapt well to urban conditions, form dense canopies, and are resistant to wind and frost.

Around 90 trees have been planted near children's and mixed-age clinics, and nearly 300 large trees have been planted near adult medical facilities. The trees are 10-20 years old and range in height from two to five meters. Maples, rowans, and lindens are the preferred trees. Fir trees have also been planted there, ready for New Year's decoration.

The trees are grown in specialized nurseries and are adapted for transplanting. This is done in pre-prepared planting holes filled with fertile soil and a drainage layer. This protects the roots from rotting and ensures proper ventilation.

As part of the first stage of reconstruction, nearly 1,800 trees were planted near the capital's clinics, and more than 580 trees were already planted near medical facilities during the second stage.

Since the beginning of 2025, about seven modern medical facilities have been built under the supervision of the capital Department of Civil Engineering, carried out comprehensive improvement and landscaping of the areas. This was reported by the head of the Moscow Department of Civil Construction. Alexey Alexandrov.

"The capital is actively developing areas near social facilities. This allows for the creation of modern public spaces and a comfortable urban environment. Since the beginning of 2025, in seven Moscow districts—Mozhaisk, Tsaritsyno, Sokolniki, Filimonkovsky, Pokrovsky-Streshnevo, Novogireyevo, and Kryukovo—areas totaling 15.55 hectares have been landscaped near new medical facilities. Green areas with lawns, trees, and shrubs have been created, pedestrian paths have been laid, street lighting has been installed, and hardscape features have been installed," said Alexey Alexandrov.

In the fall of 2025, the adult and pediatric outpatient clinic, located at 86 Lesnaya Street in the Filimonkovsky District, welcomed its first patients. The medical facility, covering over 13,300 square meters, is designed to accommodate 750 visits per shift.

The area around the clinic was landscaped and greened, including the planting of trees and shrubs, the installation of hardscape elements, the provision of parking, and the laying of a lawn.

The building also houses a family center, a branch of the Moscow City Rehabilitation Center, and the Moscow Longevity Center.

In Moscow, more than 30 social facilities were built and reconstructed under the supervision of the Department of Civil Construction in 2025.

In the Kryukovo district, a modern children's clinic with a capacity of 320 visits per shift was built on Panfilovsky Prospekt in 2025. A playground was installed, hardscape elements were installed, a bike rack was constructed, paths were paved, and comprehensive landscaping was carried out.

Since the beginning of 2025, public organizations, volunteers, church parishioners, schoolchildren, and pensioners from the capital's South-Eastern Administrative District (SEAD) have collected and sent over 20 tons of humanitarian aid to the special military operation (SMO) zone. Since the beginning of the SMO, over 100 tons of humanitarian aid have been collected in the SEAD, over 8,000 nets have been woven, and hundreds of thousands of trench candles have been cast.

From camouflage nets to cars

Efforts to support SVO participants in the district have been ongoing since the very beginning of the special operation. As Elena Khromova, Deputy Prefect of the South-Eastern Administrative District, noted, the initiatives of individual activists gradually evolved into the activities of volunteer communities. Today, they have over 200,000 members and are distinguished by their high level of organization, discipline, and efficiency. Volunteers fulfill the extensive needs of frontline soldiers, medical workers, and orphans in cities of the Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics.

"Humanitarian convoys regularly send hundreds of camouflage nets, thousands of trench candles, warm underwear, personal hygiene items, medications, stretchers, as well as equipment, radios, thermal imagers, and much more, including drinking water and food, to their destinations. Volunteers also take on more complex tasks—in 2025 alone, several vehicles, an excavator, as well as furniture and exercise equipment for hospitals, were delivered to the SVO zone," said Elena Khromova.

Weaving camouflage nets in the southeast of the capital is a common practice: workshops operate in almost every district. For example, in Vykhino-Zhulebino – on Tashkentskaya Street (building 26, block 2); in Kapotnya – in the 3rd quarter (building 23); in Kuzminki – on Yeseninsky Boulevard (building 14, block 1); in Lyublin – on Lyublinskaya Street (building 53); in Maryino – on Donetskaya Street (building 11); and in Tekstilshchiki – on Malysheva Street (building 19, block 2).

Workshops in temples

Churches in the district are also actively engaged in the production of nets and other consumables needed at the front. One of these workshops is inclusive. Volunteers with disabilities work at the St. John of Kronstadt Orthodox Pastoral Care Center in Lublin, located at 12a Novorossiyskaya Street. These include members of the Orthodox community for people with multiple sclerosis, as well as deaf and hard-of-hearing parishioners from Moscow's deaf communities.

According to Archpriest Mikhail Zazvonov, spiritual director of the spiritual care center, they cut and twist ribbons, then weave them into camouflage nets, cast dugout candles, make fire starters, cut and sew surgical gauze drapes, and produce "Caution, Mines" signs, essential for sappers.

"At first, there were about 20 volunteers, but now there are about 80 people helping in the workshops. Over the course of a year, they've woven and sent hundreds of camouflage nets to the SVO zone and made thousands of trench candles," noted Mikhail Zazvonov.

From young volunteers

Young residents of the South-Eastern Administrative Okrug are also helping with the work. For example, members of the "Podrostok" (Teenager) club, located in the Maryino district on Podolskaya Street (building 25), made over 300 New Year's cards with greetings in December and donated them to the soldiers. Together with their parents, the children regularly collect humanitarian aid—clothing and food. In December, two trucks from Maryino sent sets of children's bedding, warm blankets, throws, and pillows to an orphanage in Luhansk.

The most active home front workers were recognized with awards. In December, a celebratory meeting, "Patriots of Russia," was held at the Moscow House of Public Organizations in the Ryazan District. It was initiated by the "Officers of Russia" organization, the Federation of the Union of Cossacks, and the South-Eastern Administrative District Veterans Council. Participants of the SVO and volunteers received commemorative gifts and certificates of appreciation.

As part of a major housing renovation program in the east of the capital, 25 neoclassical buildings were renovated over a 10-year period. Architectural solutions based on strict symmetry and clear lines once again attract the attention of residents and visitors.Moscow's urban infrastructure complex talked about the progress and features of the work performed.

Crowning and interfloor cornices, rustication and bay windows

This seven-story apartment building with four bay windows is located at 49 Pervomayskaya Street. The neoclassical building was renovated in 2022. It was built in 1954 according to a custom design. The building features a crowning cornice and interstitial cornices along the perimeter, and a balustrade-like railing on the roof.

Specialists restored the façade, roof, and basement, and replaced several utility systems. The restoration of the building's appearance was completed in several stages.

First, the craftsmen cleared the façade surfaces of accumulated dirt and applied antifungal and anticorrosive protection. Then, they repaired the brickwork and reinforced it in areas of greatest wear. The next step was to renew the plaster and paint on the walls and basement. The decorative elements of the façade were restored and carefully painted. A dark yellow was used for the main volume. To further highlight the façade's curves, rustication, bay window walls, and architectural details, a darker shade of light brown ash was chosen.

During the final stage, new entrance doors were installed and the canopies above them were repaired. On the roof, the sheathing and roofing were repaired, and the rafter system was replaced in places. Particular attention was paid to restoring the balustrade on the pitched roof, which contained approximately 70 cement balusters that were missing or damaged, as well as repairing and painting the bollards.

Roof balustrades, architraves and pilasters with capitals

In 2024, specialists renovated a multi-apartment residential building with mezzanines at 4 Izmailovsky Proezd. The U-shaped building, with varying heights (from four to five stories), was built in 1950 according to a custom design in the Soviet neoclassical style, creating two symmetrically located arched passageways.

The plastered facades with decorative elements feature complex sculpture, the main one adorned with a parapet and balustrade. The three lower floors are separated from the upper portion by a belt, and the central axis of the building is defined by a decorative portico-like entrance portal. At the very top are profiled crowning cornices, decorated with dentils in the central portion of the building.

Specialists renovated the building's façade and replaced several utility systems. To preserve the building's original beauty, the renovation was carried out according to a custom design using modern domestic materials. As part of the utility system work, the cold water supply and central heating lines were replaced.

Work on the façade began with clearing and washing the exposed surfaces. Wet areas were treated with antifungal compounds. Architectural elements—the roof balustrades, architraves, pilasters with capitals, and dentils under the crowning cornice—were also restored. The building was restored to its historical colors: creamy beige for the main façade, balustrades, and cornices, and creamy white for the architraves.

Additionally, specialists replaced the ebb and flow, repaired the slopes, the building's base, and the balcony slabs, and installed new screens on the balconies. The entrance areas were also updated with new, modern, energy-efficient doors. Finally, a new external drainage system was installed on the façade.

Historical stucco: wreaths, bowls, ears of corn, and stars

In 2025, the Moscow Capital Repairs Fund renovated the building located at 9 Mironovskaya Street, which celebrated its 70th anniversary. It was built in the late Soviet neoclassical style in 1955—the year is depicted on the front façade in a stucco coat of arms. In addition to the stucco, the building is decorated with rosettes with stars and ears of grain. The lower part of the façade features rustication, while the upper part features bas-reliefs, columns with capitals, and a crowning cornice with dentils.

The building's façade and roof were renovated, along with a number of utility systems, including updated drainage lines. The sheathing on the pitched roof was replaced, and the temperature and humidity levels in the attic were adjusted. All wooden structures were treated with fire-retardant compounds. The specialists also renovated the entrance areas and installed new doors. A new external drainage system was also installed.

The exposed surfaces of the façade were cleared and washed. Where necessary, the workers replaced the brickwork. The courtyard-facing walls, as well as the upper portion of the main façade, covered with ceramic tiles, were treated with a water-repellent coating to protect them from the harsh effects of atmospheric precipitation.

The lower portion of the rusticated façade was plastered and painted. In keeping with the color scheme, the building was returned to its original light brown ash hue. The craftsmen also restored the historic Soviet-style stucco moldings—wreaths, bowls, ears of grain, and stars.

The regional program for capital repairs of the housing stock being implemented in the capital is in line with the goals and objectives of the national project Infrastructure for LifeMore information about Russia's national projects and the capital's contribution can be found atspecial page.

The winners of the "Moscow – Kind City" grant competition—90 non-profit organizations (NPOs)—began implementing socially oriented projects in 2026. These initiatives cover a variety of topics, including assistance to special military operation (SMO) participants and their families, large families and families with children in difficult life situations, as well as support for adults and children with disabilities, orphans, and other city residents who particularly need targeted support.

In 2026, socially oriented non-profit organizations developed new formats of targeted support for Muscovites—from workshops on safe and ethical online behavior to mobile psychological and pedagogical support for families with children with special needs and family sports events that bring together generations.

Traditionally, the most popular area is assistance to adults and children with disabilities, accounting for 36 percent of winning projects. Twenty-seven percent of organizations plan to implement programs to support large and foster families, families in difficult life situations, orphans, and at-risk adolescents. The top three most popular areas include projects supporting participants of the Specialized Military Service (SVO) and their families, with 14 percent of NGOs working on these projects. The number of winning nonprofit organizations in this category has doubled compared to last year.

This year's projects include the "School of Digital Ethics," implemented by the Moscow regional branch of the All-Russian public movement "Mothers of Russia."

"We want teenagers to not only know online safety rules, but also understand how their digital choices impact their reputation, relationships, and future. A conscious digital footprint is a tool that helps them choose their environment and support network. This is an educational program for teenagers aged 12-16 from large families: 300 participants will participate in 10 interactive workshops," emphasized Anna Kuksova, chair of the regional branch.

The program's unique focus is on guiding the topic of online safety toward empowering teenagers themselves. Participants will learn how thoughtful engagement with the digital environment helps them identify content and people in their feeds that truly share their interests and values, as well as how to consciously build a digital identity and use it to shape the environment they desire.

Another initiative is the Moscow Institute of Psychoanalysis's project to create a mobile, multifunctional center for psychological and pedagogical support for families with children with special needs. It is designed to assist 250 children with various developmental disabilities and their families.

"For families raising a child with special needs, regular and accessible support is crucial. We're organizing our support so that it's available in a convenient format, with a clear plan and assessment of results, so parents feel confident and can continue exercises at home. We plan to conduct at least 100 diagnostic consultations and develop over 250 individualized programs, organizing remedial classes at home and remotely," noted Eleonora Kuleshova, Dean of the Faculty of Special Education and Special Psychology at the Moscow Institute of Psychoanalysis.

Among the winners is the Moscow Gorodki Sports Federation with its project "Playing Gorodki – Preserving Traditions." It pursues two key objectives: helping SVO participants and their families and engaging large families in active leisure activities through the ancient Russian game of gorodki. According to Irina Nalivalkina, a member of the organization's presidium, at least 300 families will participate in the project.

The implementation of the winning projects in 2026 will continue the city and non-profit sector's systematic efforts to provide targeted assistance to Muscovites—from digital risk prevention for adolescents to comprehensive support for families raising children with special needs and the creation of family communities through sports and traditions.

Project "Moscow is a kind city" has been implemented since 2019 with the support of the capital Department of Labor and Social Protection of the PopulationThis is an effective model of partnership between the city and the charitable sector to provide targeted assistance to residents of the capital. One of its key projects is a grant competition for socially oriented NGOs. Over seven years, 738 projects have received funding totaling 2.8 billion rubles. The competition's annual grant fund is 400 million rubles.

As Sergei Sobyanin noted instrategies for the development of the social protection system By 2030, Moscow's synergy between city services and NGOs will provide support to the maximum number of residents in need.
