While it is still virtual, there are already thousands of people that live and work here. They, as residents and partners of "Skolkovo", intermingle amongst each other, and choose for themselves and their respective businesses the projects related to city construction, evaluate the potential effectiveness of the future urban environment, and inquire into the possibility of incorporating their developments into and for the city. The innovative city must be on one side, specifically adapted for general innovation, and on the other, capable of incorporating the generated applicable innovations on its territory. In order to solve this challenge, it is beneficial to take into account to the views of those who are already working with the urban planning of the city environment, trying to make it attractive for innovative business.
