With the principles of landscape urban development, state-of-the-art tech and engineering solutions, the world’s best architecture firms transform urban isolation zones – landfills, wastelands and undeveloped sites in the city center – into key public spaces. The soon-to-open Zaryadye Park, built on the site of the demolished “Rossiya” Hotel, and Freshkills Park, located atop the world’s biggest landfill, serve as vivid examples of revitalizing urban spaces.
