What has been done?
The Okhta team paid a lot of attention to the research part, so the team members got a comprehensive view of the territory and neighboring areas. However, the participants note that at this stage they did not have enough communication with the residents and their involvement in the research process was not enough. Therefore, in the future, the Okhta team plans to achieve greater interaction with locals in order to jointly create a public space project on the Okhta river bank.
