For centuries(數世紀以來), Red Square and the Kremlin have been the heart of Moscow.
But a 21st-centurydowntown is rising(發展), with skyscrapers set to reshape the image of Europe's largest city.
The US$10-billion "Moskva City" complex of offices, hotels, apartments, restaurants, shops and entertainment(愉樂) centers will feature(以…特色) about 25 high-rise(高樓), including at least seven buildings taller than any others in Europe.
Dominating(支配著) the site will be the 2,008-foot Russia Tower, which will be one of the tallest buildings in the world and is due(預定) for completion in 2012.
The rest of the center is schduled to open in 2009 and 2010.
Capital offcials have been working on the Moskva-City project since 1990, but few(才有人) took it seriously until the turn of the century(本世紀初).
Fueled by an oil-based boom(景氣好轉) in Russia's economy, the 148-acre site now is a place of frenzied construction(大興土木).
