On the analyzed part of the territory o the “Moscow–City” MIBC from the area of 450 thousand square metres 320 thousand square metres have been already constructed.
The “Central Core” of the “Moscow–City” MIBC is the central zone of the MIBC, around which main sites of the “Moscow–City” MIBC are grouped, on them high-rise buildings are situated. The “Central Core” occupies sites 8, 7, 6 A and 6 ? with the area of 5.1 hectares. Round the Central Core a circular detour is projected on reference marks 121.00 and 129.70.

It is an above-ground mark, on which the exits from the underground levels are provided for the evacuation in case of fire. Besides that at this level there are main roads leading to parking places, approaches of freight traffic, and unloading is realized. On mark 124.60 it is projected to place the underground public space with pedestrian galleries under the upper level of the circular overpass, the galleries connect all similar spaces of the neighbouring sites.
