In relative terms, therefore, the city's area increased. times. This vast territorial gain meant that the Moscow mega-city had to push several key issues closer to being resolved, such as reducing the excessive concentration of jobs in Moscow's historic centre to alleviate the problem of residential overcrowding. The project proposes developing Moscow's macroregion into a polycentric structure: new centres of conurbation, which should remove the excessive load from Moscow. Moreover, the addition and development of new areas should create the tourism centre. The very concept of developing these new areas envisages dividing them into three zones, the closest of which is to house government and public innovative manufacturing plants and facilities are to be located in the middle zone; several national parks are being planned for the peripheral zone. The development programme for New Moscow, which is now becoming a reality, should not only resolve the urgent agglomeration issue, but should also enhance Moscow's economic potential, attract new investment, increase the city's budget revenue and accelerate the region's pace of economic development.
