- Restructure inner organization to become more open-sourced
- Develop partnerships
- Integrate georeferenced photo bank
- Best practices & library project
- Publish methodology
- GPS tracking style app’s
- Path design software
Needed technical improvements
65. - too few Moscow streets are truly livable and vibrant

- almost no web-sites in Russian discuss livable streets
From To
only Moscow Network of cities (+english?)
livable streets
+ Pedestrians networks
+ Bike networks
only paths + Disabled accessibility
+ Public spaces quality
+ TOD
Reasons & decision: project should broaden its outlook
