Principles of the integrated development of Moscow City underground space

Abstract

Abstract Moscow is the most dynamically developing metropolis in the Russian Federation. This is a city with almost a thousand-year history, where about 12.65 million people live on an area of 2.5 thousand km2. The economic efficiency of the underground space utilization is characterized by the ratio of the area of the underground part of the structure to its total area. Said ratio on average is less than 8% for the city of Moscow. From 2011 to 2019, 50 new metro stations and about 82 km of new metro lines were built in Moscow. By the end of 2027, it is planned to build 329 km of new lines and 151 stations. The housing renovation program provides for the renovation of 5175 residential buildings with maximum utilization of the underground space to ensure a comfortable living for people. The report considers the basic principles, goals and objectives of the integrated development of the underground space of Moscow, indicated in the Code “High rise buildings and complexes. Regulation of urban planning”. A review of accumulated experience in the construction and operation of residential areas of Moscow, built on the autonomous principle of “city in city”. Methods for ensuring the integrity and technological safety of existing buildings with integrated development of the underground space are considered.
