ZIL Factory
Moscow’s city centre concentrates most of the city’s social, economic, intellectual and cultural activity in only 6% of the administrative surface. Beyond this area the city is determined by a high degree of mono-functionality, zoning and fragmentation. As a consequence Moscow’s centre and infrastructure are close to collapse.The project states that a radical de-centralization of the city is indispensable and that centrally located industrial areas have a huge potential for a transformation into sub-centres. The ZIL site could become a pioneer for such an approach, open for experimentation and innovation. A careful long-term development strategy that integrates the site with its immediate urban context as well as with the larger urban infrastructures of Moscow to initiate a heterogeneous transformation process is provided. It is proposed to closely integrate transport as well as existing and new green infrastructures – such as the new
Public Rail Ring, Moskva Riverfront or a new, self-maintaining Pine Park
– with the territory.
