Abstract
The paper discusses advantages and disadvantages of the renovation program in the city of Moscow (Russia). This program of the Moscow government is aimed at demolishing low-rise housing built in the 1960s and new construction in the vacated territory. On the basis of the analysis of this program’s disadvantages, seven major problems were identified - a flaw in the socio-spatial model of the city, a threat to small and medium businesses, a mortgage crisis, an economic issue, a low level of apartment comfort, an environmental problem, and increase in population density. Various methods for the reconstruction of the five-story buildings of the first mass series with superstructure floors are considered.
