Novosibirsk is the capital of Siberia and one of Russia’s largest cities, with a population of more than 1 million. This meeting point of Russian traditions and modern industry is bisected by the Ob River and the Mikhailovskaya Embankment running alongside it. The embankment is a two-part terrace park, divided by transit bridges, and the whole territory is delineated by the river, a cargo port, and a major highway.
