Urban Design
The Moscow City Architecture Committee carries out a number of programs for the integrated development of Moscow, aimed at creating a comfortable visual environment and an aesthetically-attractive image of the city. Among them are the new design code and street navigation, standards for seasonal cafés, advertising and signage, highway patterns, design of architectural and artistic lighting. Legally approved rules will help to facilitate the coordination procedures and to minimize the process.
