The example of such works is "Gogol House". It is expected that one of the boulevards in the center of Moscow will be divided into five areas-towns. Each of them will be dedicated to one of the arts: music, theater, cinema and art. Another city will be given to children. Each of them will have its own program.

Tomsky and architect L. Golubovsky.
