City Hall and City Duma
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For the historic structure, see Moscow City Hall.
The City Hall and City Duma project, currently under construction, will be the new home for the Moscow government and duma. It will consist of four 308.4 meter, 70 storeys towers. Currently, the government of the city is using hundreds of smaller buildings throughout the city. It is expected that all power will be accumulated in the new complex to provide better organisation, allowing the buildings currently in use to be sold.
The project consists of four supertall skyscrapers with several two storey bridges between towers and eight storey bridges at the top. The highest bridges will be built in shape of letter "M" for "Moscow".
Work on this project began in November 2005. City authorities have promised to complete the complex by the end of 2007.
