A taste of old Moscow with a 21st-century twist. The neighbourhood miraculously avoided the bulldozers of the Soviet urban planners and has preserved its old-fashioned atmosphere with colourful churches and cosy piazzas popping up here and there. Zamoskvorechye's main street has been partly pedestrianised, which has attracted new restaurants and businesses to the otherwise quiet and sleepy area. Plans are now in place to turn the neighbourhood into an experimental 'smart city' where new urban infrastructure — traffic lights, bike stations and new types of navigation signs — will be tested for the first time.
