FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AREA In the future, innovative business cluster will be built to the south of central VDNH part. Until then the area is used for temporary events and festivals. The business cluster structure is a grid, aligned with existing paths, plots, and tree lines. New entrance to the VDNH is planned at the business cluster. Main streets lead from Ipodrom metro station to the Linden alley. The cluster is high density, mixed program. The architecture is varied, however it is important that it is diverse, human scale, ground floor program activates public spaces, ground floors have many entrances, windows. Streets are safe for pedestrians and cyclists, cars are parked in the underground garages. Convention centre with hotel is an iconic, new architecture building in between historic VDNH part and the new business cluster. The convention centre design should be chosen after architectural competition and it should become a new landmark of the modern VDNH. Line of cultural, entertainment or public buildings - pavilions are planned along the linden alley. The buildings are diverse, modern and exceptional architecture, with main entrances from public spaces - plazas along the linden alley. These cultural pavilions will enrich the main VDNH pedestrian boulevard with program and create attractions along the route.
