Masterplan Perm [RU]
20 Mar 2009

KCAP Architects & Planners has been commissioned to develop a masterplan
for Perm, a city of one million inhabitants in the Russian Federation.

The city of Perm, capital of Perm Krai, is a large industrial based city
situated along the Kama river. Some 1400 kilometers away from Moscow,
geographically the first European city, west of the Ural Mountains. The
masterplan is to contain general vision of future development of the
city, defining its essential spatial conditions, development potentials,
limitations and qualities. Striving towards sustainable city transformation.



The city will be reconnected to the river and the valleys and floodplains
will become the backbone of the new green public structures. As
structural principal the spacious green boulevards will connect different
areas and key public spaces, giving a firm impulse to the livability
of the city. A new integrated concept for all modes of transport is
also most urgent; as reduction of current massive private car use can
indeed only be achieved based on development of a good functioning public
transport system. The masterplan aims to turn Perm into a more compact
and at the same time more open city.
