Moscow City 2
Adjacent to the area under construction, a large industrial area will be evacuated in order to make space for more skyscraper projects. Among them might be purpose-built headquarters for important Russian companies, in a similar way to La Defense in Paris. Another name for the project is: "Novy Center" or in Russian: "The New Center".

Famous quotes containing the words moscow and/or city:
“Napoleon is a torrent which as yet we are unable to stem. Moscow will be the sponge that will suck him dry.”
—Mikhail Kutuzov (1745–1813)
“A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
