unique city districts
While the city core of St. Petersburg is located
in the historical center, the seaport area
occupying 14% of the city has potential to
become a new center of activity, a symbol of
the modern city. Its transformation can be an
important impetus to the city development. The
project is relevant due to the plans to transfer
port facilities from St. Petersburg to Ust-Luga,
the largest Russian port of the Baltic Sea.
The seaport area is located to the south of the
historical center and forms part of the marine
facade of St. Petersburg. The territory is mostly
occupied by various industries, port and
engineering facilities. There is lack of
transport facilities, except for railways,
which are currently used for industrial needs.
However, the territory is crossed by a highway
providing connection to the city districts.

Opportunities.
Threats.
The territory is
formed by
-borders of unaccessible
industrial areas
-borders of surrounding
residential areas
-unaccessible
waterfront
- potential for creating new attractors and
development of the south-western city districts
- potential for creating new recreational spaces
(connection with water and green areas)
- potential for development of water transport
and railway transport
- possibility of flooding of some areas
- relocation of port facilities is a complicated
process due to a large number of owners
- loss of jobs
- large investments are needed
