Discover Moscow project can be scaled to the Moscow region and the country level, to all cities of Russia due to its own information system and a customized interface for transferring data to the Portal and mobile app. Interaction with local historians of individual cities and Russia and federal museums is necessary to fill up the Portal. The project can also be scaled to cities in other countries.

Plans to develop and attract more users are formed based on interaction with the citizens of Moscow - through feedback, reviews, special crowdsourcing projects, and qualitative and quantitative research. Based on the information received, we form plans and implement them. All this is done to make users feel that we listen to them and their opinion about the resource, which contains so much helpful information about their favorite city.
