Moscow under Construction explores the growth of place-based opposition to destructive redevelopment practices in Moscow and the consequent changes in cityrsquo;s governance regime. The groups of citizens discussed in this study have struggled to defend homes; neighborhoods; heritage buildings; and historic districts; and in the process theyrsquo;ve built up civil society and advanced democratization. Heritage preservationists and other aggrieved Muscovites have organized themselves into ldquo;initiative groupsrdquo; and ldquo;social associationsrdquo; to protect specific places in the city and to influence the planning process; and these place-defenders have become more confident and capable as citizens. Their activities also have caused Moscowrsquo;s city government to shift along the political spectrum away from highly authoritarian and opaque habits of ruling toward a more open and collaborative governance regime.
