Programmatic densification and establishing of new public program together with series of different public spaces results in a contemporary garden city. New landmarks as railway station, city hall, health center with swimming pool and a eco dome, are well connected by visual lines as well as pedestrian paths enhancing idea of a city in a park. A new rearranged compact Odintsovo, with reduced car mobility, lower ecological footprint would also allow for high quality of social life and security, with series of places to meet, sport, children to play, to shop, learn and work.

Several instruments play a key role in the regeneration of Odintsovo:

1. Connecting points: a network of green boulevards, pedestrian paths and iconic public spaces
2. Framing space: defining urban rooms
3. Creating diversity
