Moscow presented a large-scale exhibition at Cityscape Global 2024, the world’s leading international architecture and real estate event, held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from November 11 to 14. The city’s pavilion was organized by the Department for External Economic and International Relations of Moscow and featured 12 prominent Moscow-based architectural firms.

This event marked an important step in promoting Moscow’s brand as a hub for sustainable urban development. We are committed to continuing our collaboration with international partners to bring ambitious projects to life,” noted Evgeny Dridze.

Among the featured firms were the ATRIUM architecture studio, which presented several riverfront developments along the Moskva River, offering new solutions for modern residential and public spaces; and Megabudka, which unveiled hotel complex designs with a strong focus on green technologies and energy efficiency. Several other major architecture firms also took part in the exhibition.

The Moscow pavilion engaged actively with local authorities and international partners, positioning the city as an attractive destination for real estate investment and collaboration. Participation in Cityscape Global 2024 opened new opportunities for Moscow’s architectural studios.
