In 2012, the Moscow Government announced plans to double the size of the city territory, including creating a high-quality walking and cycling environment in residential areas and districts up to 10km from the city centre. Steer supported an international team working for a Government institute responsible for integrated transport projects.
The aim was to make routes more pleasant, safe and comfortable and, thereby, encourage more people to walk. Our team produced a pedestrian route improvement strategy for walking catchments of 1.2 km (or a 15 minute walk) around 35 metro stations.
The output was a design solution for each route, with accompanying design guidance for wider application.
