And later on, in November 2017 trees were planted in Tverskaya, making this street once again green as it was before the 90-s of the last century.

Important part of the city refurbishment was a renovation of city parks and creation of new ones. In the city center and in its outskirts.

This one is a park of Krasnaya Presnya and the ponds (Парк Красная Пресня) by Wowhouse architectural bureau.
