The history of Krylatskoye is revealed through an urban planning experiment, Olympic construction, and the everyday life of the area. Moscow expert Denis Romodin will analyze how housing and infrastructure were simultaneously created here, why the area was considered prestigious, and what has survived from the original concept today. Krylatskoye is commonly perceived as a green area with hills, sports facilities, and residential quarters; however, behind its modern appearance lies a significant urban planning experiment. Denis Romodin will explain how the territory in the floodplain of the Moscow River gradually transformed into one of the notable projects of late Soviet Moscow and why the history of the area began long before the familiar construction appeared. The idea of developing this part of the city emerged in the General Plan for the Reconstruction of Moscow in the 1930s, but actual construction unfolded several decades later. In the 1970s, sports facilities for the Olympics began to be created here: a velodrome, a rowing canal, and other facilities were intended to shape the modern image of the area. Later, residential quarters were built nearby, which were conceived as a showcase of new urban life. The main feature of the project was the principle of simultaneous construction of housing and all necessary infrastructure. Shops, clinics, kindergartens, and schools were built together with the houses so that residents could move into an already prepared urban environment. For Moscow's mass construction, this approach was an important experiment and significantly distinguished Krylatskoye from many other new districts of the capital.
