The Moskva river has formed the basis of the functional and planning
framework for the development of the city of Moscow ever since the ancient
times. Development of the city has always been closely connected to its
location along the shores of the Moskva river, an important transportation route.
At all times, the Moskva river has retained its importance for the city, however,
with time, priorities of functional employment of both the water expanse and its
environment underwent certain transformations. The time has now come to
define up-to-date priorities for the development of waterside areas, with a
proper account taken of the general trends in the development of the new urban
framework and social and economic environment. Changes in the role of the
Moskva river waterside in general, and of its embankments in particular, that
are already in place, support the importance of a general concept of
development of the indicated areas.
