The team of students at Strelka Institute of Media Architecture and Moscow became the epicenter of Design, together with MIT Senseable change. The old system left behind City Lab are trying to analyze those a rigid structure of the modernist virtual layers of Moscow. These city, and social emptiness. This void layers presented in the students’ immediately began being filled projects are of their own choices, with new content, new values and made according to their own new laws. Clear, organized, socialist preferences, personal understanding urban life morphed into one that of the city, and judgment of what is complex, layered, sophisticated is controversial and what aspects and uncontrolled. All the while, may be real or imagined. Having Moscow’s ten million population aggregated data from a variety is expanding every day. This mass of sources, students developed of people defines the life of this their project proposals, which in metropolis, as much as physical turn are an attempt to provide city substance defines its appearance. with the new technological urban interventions you find in this book. Today, with help of new tools, we can describe this fragmented, complex We would like to thank all people that city, and create a consistent portrait supported us and gave their expertise. of its intangible, and unknown aspects. User-generated content produced daily by the citizens is depicting Moscow’s complicated structure. New tools and services on the web are becoming indispensable from the image of a comfortable life in the city. This virtual embodiment of the physical city acts as a lens by which we can view the invisible system and structures of Moscow. By harnessing this data, we can gain insight into the inefficiencies and interconnections of the city’s physical artifice and networks: its traffic, pedestrian flow, economies, crime, politics, communication, environmental, health, and more. 8 SCG MOSCOW / INTRODUCTION M1 Moscow in motion by Anna Siprikova SENSEable CITY LAB, MIT 10 PROJECT I argue that habits are adaptive, This project aims to create a method 11 DESCRIPTION and we may break from this by which to access this information, SCG trend if we changed the based on the time and place one SCG Moscow is the northernmost circumstances driving this issue. is in, as a means of planning your MOSCOW / MOSCOW / megacity, whose reputation is often transportation options.

The matter is further complicated as this growth, and challenges, are so closely tied to the oil and energy, construction, housing, transportation, and retail sectors. Furthermore, the car is a major item of consumption and status symbol. Thus, a cycle of demand, infrastructural change, and public perception change now perpetuates the increasing reliance on the automobile. According to the utility theory from economics, individuals compare alternatives, and choose the one with the highest benefit at the lowest cost to that person. Can we use this economic framework to understand automobile use in Moscow as a choice, or has it become more engrained through that vicious cycle? 12 PERSONAL 13 INTERACTION SCG SCG Travelers wishing to explore MOSCOW / MOSCOW / Moscow’s hidden places can use this information to plan their trip with clear and up-to-date information.
