History of STEP City

The company was founded in 2017 in Moscow in response to the city’s call to transform urban traffic.

Our first projects involved designing transportation schemes for Moscow’s streets as part of a large-scale downtown improvement program. We restructured traffic flows and introduced convenient sidewalks where they were most needed. This marked a turning point in Moscow’s evolution — from congested pedestrian areas to well-designed streets that are comfortable to use.

Since our founding, we have been building a team of transport architects — interdisciplinary experts applying a holistic approach to transportation scheme design.

We take pride in being among the first in Russia to design streets that prioritize the needs of all urban residents.

Since 2020, the company has operated under the brand STEP. Our project portfolio spans cities across Russia and the CIS.

Our mission is to design sustainable and human-centered environments where space becomes a resource for development and movement is an expression of the city’s vitality.

STEP Team

We work at the intersection of transportation planning, architecture, design, and urban development. This requires systemic thinking and an interdisciplinary approach.

Working with cities carries great responsibility. We engage with the public to justify our proposed solutions and take part in professional discussions.

Those who join our team want to shape the future of cities — and they get that opportunity.
