2. Open doors and open minds foster vibrant
economies
3. Reduced environmental impact and improved
liveability is achieved through increased
density
14. Global Lessons on Cities

economically resilient, more liveable and
requires far less land than traditional single
use developments

including aggressive transportation
management is essential
15. Global Lessons on Cities

who shares risk with the private sector for
successful urban regeneration

Global Moscow =
Liveable Density
“Moscow is losing a lot of people because it’s
not livable.” (Interviewee)
24. Global Moscow = DENSITY
25
… All great cities are dense cities.
„ density brings people together
„ 100 densest cities = 30% global wealth
= almost all global innovation
„ density = wealth, when supported by:
ƒ mixed land uses
ƒ educated population
ƒ vibrant urban environment
ƒ Integrated transport
ƒ private enterprise
ƒ supportive governance
25. Global Moscow = DENSITY
26
… confusion of density and congestion

and research. They also create jobs and wealth
with strong links to local economies

position in the international rankings by 2021
… The initial building blocks include the
internationalization of academic standards and
