shagal: logistics
transport strategy for the first 15-minute city inside Moscow
an area that is easy to get around on foot, without traffic jams or by bike
Shagal is the largest residential redevelopment project not only in Moscow, but also in Europe: it is 109 hectares and 9 construction phases on the territory of the former ZIL-Yug industrial zone, designed to be commissioned within 15 years. At the request of the Etalon company, CM International became the authors of a large-scale development strategy for the territory of the Shagal quarter. One of the most important points of the strategy, from which ideas for other aspects of life in the area largely developed, was a detailed transport logistics plan with the slogan “On foot, without traffic jams, by bicycle.”
The main goal of the logistics strategy was to come up with conditions in which people do not need to drive every day. This can be achieved by reducing distances to important points and developing public transport.
The main solution is the idea of a multimodal transport system, which takes into account the interests of each road user, and at the same time helps to increasingly abandon their car. Together with Mobility in Chain, we have created a convenient and thoughtful transport scheme for the entire area, which takes into account the interests of personal and public transport, micromobility and pedestrians.
There is a cycling infrastructure inside the block, making everyday cycling accessible. On main roads and in green areas of the district, two-lane paths 2.5 meters wide run along one side. The rest of the territory has single-lane paths 1.5 meters wide, but they are located on each side of the street. To make using micromobility in our neighborhood even more convenient, we have thought out a uniform system of hubs throughout the territory.
Auto drivers not only easily move around the block, but also travel beyond it without any unnecessary difficulties - to the adjacent streets and transit highways of Moscow. To do this, we thought through a transport system in which we divided nine automobile streets into main and secondary ones.
