Moscow Begins Construction Of A City Within A City
A site for a proposed airport near downtown will instead be developed as a mixed-use project.
"Khodynka Field, where the most famous stampede in Russian history left 1,400 people trampled to death during Nicholas II's coronation celebrations in 1896, is about to be converted into a high-class city within a city complete with its own schools, kindergartens, churches, clinics, parks, stadiums and shopping centers... Among such objects are a 30-hectare park located in the center of the former airfield, two high schools, four kindergartens, a large clinic, a new stadium for Dynamo hockey club, a 240,000-square-meter shopping mall and entertainment center with underground parking, a hotel, a business center, a church, and a chapel commemorating the pioneers of aviation."
