Moscow
Low connectivity, concentration of activity in the center
Dense metropolis with suburban topology
•   Brief overview of Moscow

•   The case: spontaneous paths

•   “Moscow path” initiative

•   Ideas for future development of the project + Q&A




                       The case: paths
The case: paths
Forget-me-not type
Sidewalk type
Connector type
Adjacent to parking type
Adjacent to parking type




       Parked type
They say, in North Korea people only turn at straight angles
Recreational path
Spontaneous paths in free-layout neighborhoods: Vilnyus
Berlin
Warsaw
Brasilia :: paths as tribute to modernism
                                     source: http://discoveringurbanism.blogspot.com/
“The smartest path”. Harvard
•   Scale of the problem

•   Ecology (paths contribute to dust in the air)

•   Transport (people tend to walk less and use cars more
    due to poor sidewalks condition)

•   Economic implications for local businesses and budget

•   Symptom of poor pedestrian network design skills

•   “Broken window” effect

•   Could only be solved at a city-wide level



                   Why is that important?
1. Recultivated*

                                     * photo was taken
                                     May 2009,
                                     by mid June the path
                                     was once again in place




How are paths dealt with in Moscow
Fenced
The very few examples of preservation
~ distance 300 feet

Typical mistakes: lack of systematic approach
<= width =>                  poor pavement quality

              Typical mistakes
Typical mistakes: corners
Turns out, paths are not a problem, but rather a hint to planners
Design case study
Crossing                         Crossing




~ 60 feet + turns                   ~ 30 feet
        50% increase in distance ~ design?
“beautiful” vs functional
                            source: http://zyalt.livejournal.com/143040.html
Designing paths: shortest routes
Designing paths: lowest costs
overview of methodology
developed by A. P. Romm, Phd
since 1960s




                                               Entrance




  I                         II           III
      How do we decide when to cut corners through grass?
Real life example
Designing paths: optimized network
Designing optimized network
Designing paths: optimized network (example #1)
Designing paths: optimized network (example #2)
Designing network with barriers
Designing optimized neighborhood paths network
Now let’s compare it to a real case
•   Brief overview of Moscow

•   The case: spontaneous paths

•   “Moscow path” initiative

•   Ideas for future development of the project + Q&A




                     Presentation plan
http://dorojki-msk.ru/English




                                             info
                               online petition (313 Moscovites)
                               paths map

Major problem to be solved:
yet no system that would maintain online community

                    Project & Dorojki-Msk.ru
Mass media attention
Officials responded: “No, thanks”

    Preserving paths + creating bicycle lanes
Option: preserving paths + creating bicycle lanes

Dense metropolis with suburban topology
Concentracion of business activity in the center +

   Poor road connectivity ~ sparse hierarchy

                          Daily traffic
Sidewalks?
Sidewalks?
Buildings are separated from street
Buildings are separated from the street
Poor accessibility transforms into lack of retail or street activities
- Create a system that would maintain online community
- 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
- too few Moscow streets are truly livable and vibrant
- many people supported the project and its expansion
- 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
open source network for urban projects + blogs
