"Moscow as a dynamic megacity: flexible management practices" is the working name of the Moscow Urban Forum which will be held on 16-17 October 2015 in Manege Central Exhibition Hall.
Marat Khusnullin, Moscow Deputy Mayor for Urban Development and Construction, Head of MUF Executive Committee:
”Every year we try to select the most pressing issues dedicated to the development of megacities. The international political situation influenced the key aspects of the country’s life, bringing internal goals and tasks to the foreground. That is why we have decided to concentrate only on the Moscow agenda this year, and to dedicate the Forum to the presentation and discussion of projects related to the capital, a search for new Moscow development centres, outlining the problems and challenges faced by the megacity during the crisis, a search for the most optimal and effective solutions for further successful development of the city. Many different projects are currently implemented in Moscow, aimed at improving the general social and economic situation, developing modern transport infrastructure and convenient and comfortable urban environment. We have a lot to share with the world, and it is very important for us to receive feedback, to find out how our projects are evaluated by experts. We hope that the Forum will be interesting, informative, truly open to discussion, and will bring practical results, which will positively influence further development of Moscow and the life of our urban community.”
