MOSCOW CITY The Moscow City construction project consists of more than 30 objects with a total area of about 60 hectares. For over 20 years, the most ambitious architectural structure in the history of Russia has been rising on the left bank of the Moscow River. More than 4 million square meters of real estate, about 22 large- scale objects, 12 billion dollars of investments from private entrepreneurs and 25 years of work done - all this is MIBC "Moscow City". The most scandalous, most controversial and, of course, the most striking metropolitan project in terms of architecture. Since the days of the Stalinist skyscrapers and skyscrapers on Novy Arbat,  which the writer Yuri Nagibin dubbed the "false jaw of Moscow", not a single project has caused such disputes and so polar opinions and ratings. Moscow City is a project that is either idolized or hated. There are simply no people indifferent to him in the capital. Someone says that the appearance of luminous glass towers disfigured the embankment area and the panoramic view of Kutuzovsky. Someone compares Moscow City with Manhattan and calls it a city in a city.
