Urban Planners

The city of the future is being built by a team of planners, engineers, transportation and utilities specialists, economists, and financiers. Two Skolkovo Foundation sister companies manage this process, and their work is supervised by Maksim Sheyfel, City Manager of the Skolkovo Foundation.

The company ODPS (United Department of Design and Construction) of the Center for Development and Design of New Technology is responsible for the construction of buildings and infrastructural facilities. The company coordinates the work of contracted construction companies. At present, construction is underway for underground power substations, the first of their kind in Russia. Construction has begun for the first Skolkovo building, the Center of City Development.
