Government decision stipulated that the city’s topography shaped down the ages, should be preserved and the
thoroughfares and squares radically improved.
           The Reconstruction Plan, so to speak, envisaged a “surgical” attack upon the maze of narrow and crooked
streets, totally inadequate to meet the requirements of a modern city.
           The Plan was drawn up with an eye to the city’s future growth and work was launched on a giant scale.
           The first five years after the war were highlighted by the stupendous Moscow University project on the
Vorobiyovi Hills, and the erection of multi-storey buildings. The multi-storey edifices have unquestionably added a
touch of distinction to the city’s architectonic.Today mass construction of dwelling houses and public and cultural
establishments has top priority in the city’s development.
           New houses also go up in the city’s older streets and squares. Present-day housing projects are essentially
different from those of former years. Moscow today has an adequate building materials industry, which facilitates rapid
building and the use of new prefabricated section assembly methods.
           The building of cultural and public establishments is keeping pace with housing construction.
           Now the Capital is linked with the rest of the country, and with the world, by all modern means of
communication. After the construction of the Moscow Canal the Moskva River has become a full-fledged city artery.
