"No one can accuse Moscow City Hall of lacking a vision for the future -- city planners have considered everything from turning the busy Novy Arbat thoroughfare into a pedestrian zone to setting up a system of commuter "air taxis.""But not all of the City's plans are castles in the sky. A number of high profile projects long on the drawing boards are finally on the way to realization, promising to change the face of the city."
