Disconnections.

Moskovsky District is situated in the south of the city center. The canal is bounded by two large avenues that were conceived to support the big traffic coming from industrial areas. The connection south-north has to be mentioned as an important border inside the territory that are disconnecting the district in the west-east direction.




The area that we are working in is part of a big industrial belt that has the character of buffer. This industrial presents a lot of negative aspects that can be used as an opportunity to improve the connections with other parts of the city. Abandoned industries, soil and air pollution, lack of green and public spaces, high speed roads, are some of the negative aspects that can be found there.







At the same time, a lot of potentials can be found in the area as urban voids, dismissed buildings, spontaneous paths, dismissed railway.
All these negative aspects and potentials invite us to propose a new system based in a green structure that can generate new activities which can make it more attractive and usable for people of the surrounding areas.


This new green axis is going to be the main element to articulate the area and it will contain a new line of public transport, bike ways, pedestrian ways, and new activities as university uses, sport and cultural facilities.
