The exhibition “City of the Future as Seen through Children’s Eyes” opened at Russia’s pavilion at Expo 2010 in Shanghai. A nationwide competition was held in Russia to select the works for the exposition “Bright Blocks for the Best City.” Adult architects used the works as the basis for creating models of city neighborhoods and other elements of the urban infrastructure.
