St. Petersburg plans to build its version of Moscow City near Ladozhskaya metro station. Many locals doubt this project makes sense because the area sits on swampy ground called Okkervil. Some residents mock the idea, suggesting they should build it at Palace Square instead. People want the city to focus on basic needs like healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and better social services, rather than fancy office towers for big companies.
Residents believe finishing planned metro stations should come first before starting new developments. They worry about Ladozhskaya station already being overcrowded and traffic jams on nearby streets. Many fear that more buildings will bring more people and harm the environment. Some locals suggest fixing communal apartments would help more than creating skyscrapers. A few supporters say the project could create jobs and help develop the neighborhood.
