Synopsis

For generations, the trilogy of the Kremlin, Red Square, and the GUM department store marked the undis­­puted centre of Moscow. The last decades brought sweeping changes to the Russian ­capital. Today the biggest city in Europe and undoubtfully the heart of Eurasia has many centres. Its new squares and parks have set unprecedented stan­dards in urban design. And the city continues to grow – not least due to the construction of gigantic housing complexes and multifunctional projects.<br /> This book guides you through Moscow's history, from the fifteenth century to the present day, taking you to well-known landmarks, industrial areas and residential districts. It includes more than 550 buildings, structures, parks and squares. Well-researched descriptions provide in-depth information on the built environment, while detailed maps and QR codes make it easy to find all the ­featured projects.
