Abstract

Effective transport infrastructure development is known to be one of the key aspects of sustainable development of modern city environment. Creation of transport hubs is expected to make a contribution to the improvement of transport infrastructure. Some practical examples of implementing of hubs in Moscow were considered. The article proves that the creation of the transport hubs, is capable to contribute to the sustainable urban development: to provide high social-and-economic living standards for inhabitants, to make changes of different types of transport fast and convenient, to eliminate “poor points” in the transport infrastructure, to reduce stoppers in the city, to provide inhabitants with the necessary number of parking spaces and also to become an additional source of income both for the city, and for commercial structures. It also will be able to increase the investment attractiveness and investment activity of the area in general. However, the author criticizes the current approach to the organization of investments into the hub projects. The public-and-private-partnership in its broad sense would allow dividing expenses, risks and profit within the project, and at the same time keeps the municipal property for the facility. Meanwhile the use of concession does not allow providing the maximum transport project efficiency.

Highlights

That is important for comfortable movement around the city to build new stations and lines of the underground or new highways, to reconstruct the railroad, but it is important to coordinate all these facilities into a common "knot" or hub, which will allow passengers to make changes, without wasting their time
If there are no essential changes, and only "modernization" of the transport infrastructure is carried out, for example, on the basis of the railway station an administrative complex for passengers is under construction, new parking spaces for cars and public transport are created and the territory, adjoining to them, equips with modern conveniences, it practically does not affect the market of the residential real estate in any way
The analysis of the programme of creation of transport hubs (TH) in Moscow and studying of the realized projects proves, that they can contribute to the urban development considerably

Summary

Introduction

That is important for comfortable movement around the city to build new stations and lines of the underground or new highways, to reconstruct the railroad, but it is important to coordinate all these facilities into a common "knot" or hub, which will allow passengers to make changes, without wasting their time. For this purpose the programme for creation of the transport hubs (TH) has been adopted in Moscow. Till 2020 it is planned to construct more than 270 modern transport hubs by the means of which authorities of the capital plan to optimize the passenger stream among different types of transport in Moscow.
