INTRODUCTION

Final push to write the following was the experience of remote treatment of our youngest. The psychologist-therapist from St. Petersburg worked for an hour with a child on Skype in video mode. Everything was 100%. No technical failures or break contact, the therapist-child relationship. Therapy will take another few months and completely take place in remote video mode. 21-th century as it had foreseen.
Ten years ago it would have looked like this: book a hotel, buy tickets, go-go-go, uncle, takes us into the office to which he is also, incidentally, goes.

Why go now?

Write something I was going, rather, about the decision of transport problems in the city-hero of Moscow. Sobyanin and his ilk proclaimed battle against Moscow’s traffic jams. Like, now, construct new highways, paving the subway, raise multi-level car park. After that comes Happiness: buy a car and drive yourself to health. I’m not particularly criticize the approach. With Sobyanin, his team and his approach, I think, everything is clear …
Only one remark: in the West are using the concept of compulsory limit the number of parking spaces at an office building or shopping center. To not go on the machines. We have the same approach prevails limit the number of parking spaces from the bottom – that drove and parked where it should. Two worlds – two systems.

Have gone further. Moskvin-Tarkhanov in a conversation with my participation has mentioned that the Moscow office of employment does not know – what do the 1,5 million able-bodied Muscovites. Permanent jobs they do not, employment is uncertain. Incredible figure! Incredible … The huge virtual city millionik without children and pensioners.
I know not – than to feed the city that produces and what he lives. But one of its residents know very well (it’s not me, of course, but …). Skills he has several. Earnings in two ways: translations of scientific literature and Bodywork Therapy. The first activity requires a netbook and a bit of internet. Even the desktop is not required – you can work on his knees. The second requires only a massage table in a home. Customers themselves come when it suits them. Or come on foot (such somewhere 40%).
Office no. Accounting paper no. Need to go to work every day no.

Why go for?

The load of this man to the Moscow transport infrastructure in the region of origin. Well, meet on the subway to get a money for the transfer (you can, by the way, and on the internet to get to it), well come a client in his car. And most dom.rabotniku car is not needed, in fact. At least, in the exercise of professional activities.

“Traffic” – said Schwarzenegger

The main problem in Moscow – it’s traffic and traffic jams in rush hours. The second problem – busy downtown traffic outside the hours of “peak”.
Both these problems are caused by the need huge numbers of people every day going to work or on business. Work for most starts at the same time – hence the rush hours. Most jobs are concentrated in the center of the city – hence the congestion in the center and the entrances to it.
As if to make sure that there was no need to endlessly wander up and down, killing their own health and the environment of the city?
Why do we do we go to work? Chat live with colleagues and superiors (b my eyes these faces are not seen!)? View as treasury computer (which is his or something not yet?)? Get-leaf through papers with seals and signatures? Go to a business lunch? Anecdote to tell coworkers?
I can understand if Moscow had been manufacturing city. The conveyor is a conveyor. A storage room at home is not arranged. But Moscow – a city of services. And mutual respect to external partners. Producing services and knowledge can be in different places, not in an area of ??historic buildings in Moscow.

Why go again?

Well this is how many working hours coffin nerve health in all of these tubes, subway cars and shuttles? Many, many incredible.
What conclusion?
No need to go. We must organize professional activities in the area of ??residence. There are many options: at home, on your lap while waiting for a child engaged in the studio; in an uninhabited place on the ground floor of his house, in the office center next door, finally.

Offices close proximity as a panacea

There’s your solution to all your transportation problems. No need to go either to the center or in the rush hours. Well, maybe for a salary or some important meeting / appointment.
As soon subside flow of people who every day have to go out of the bags / suburbs in the center of Moscow – the problem will simply disappear.
Here and should be sent to the authorities’ efforts.
What are the prevailing conditions for the deployment within a walking distance of offices / home offices?

1) IT-connectedness.
That is, compared to previous years in virtually every modern family has a computer and the Internet. Program-type communicators Skype, Ventrillo, TimSpika, not to mention all sorts of social networking sites and forums are free and readily available to understand the average worker. More Advanced user may well learn and share documents, teleconferences and more. Problems to communicate with colleagues / boss from home simply does not exist.

2) Electronic Funds Transfer.
There is still work to do, but we have WebMoney, Yandex-money, etc. as a direct payment system on the Internet. The pedestrian access is also a lot of banks that offer electronic payment or transfer on credit card.
In the accounting department can also send the necessary documents by e-mail or regular mail.

3) Ancillary facilities
Specifics of the new buildings of Moscow is that the ground floor – non-residential. Something given to HOA, something prihvatyvayut owners who give these rooms to rent. In principle, nothing prevents a part of the premises in advance translates to a municipal fund, and from it has already allocate for home offices, business clubs, etc.

4) “Children’s Time”
In Moscow, made a sufficiently long time to treat children with a view to their development. However, because of the dangers of a big city they are usually accompany. As a result, adults spend much time in transport and waiting for children involved in one way or another matter. Time, it usually flies away for nothing. However, with the trend of miniaturization of computers and the spread of “handheld” is quite possible to take this free time for business.

5) Moscow – a city of immaterial production.
This specificity of Moscow. This is where the home offices may obtain the most widespread, since it is not necessary to arrive at the place of actual production. Even such a thing as a trade non-food commodities without too much difficulty can be transferred to a “domestic level” – evidenced by the success of Internet sales.
What are the advantages CONCEPT OFFICES walking distance THAN SOLUTIONS OF TRANSPORT PROBLEMS?

Firstly, at a minimum support of the municipal government can be created many new jobs. Simply due to the cumulative effect – as is known in the modern economy, each new job pulls the expansion of demand for a list of services.
Secondly, reducing costs for many types of production services. No lease payments, less electricity is wasted, disappear little use professional-type guard with their salaries.
Third, arise and develop new kinds of services that are unprofitable in the current structure of small and medium-sized businesses.

WHAT CAN AND SHOULD MAKE THE CITY FOR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT OFFICE walking distance?

- Involvement of non-residential ground floor of premises as a business support dom.rabotnikov: it may be a business club for socializing and making contacts, comprehensive care centers for those who work at home (accountants, lawyers, advertising, printing, etc.) mini-offices in close proximity to those who, for whatever reason can not work at home

- Simplification and lgotizatsiya tax those businesses creates a new type of

- Reduced energy consumption rate of pay for those who work in your home office

- The use of city facilities (outdoor advertising, newspapers, TV, official sites, etc.) to support and develop new business

- Develop a network of free (or low-cost) Internet in the sleeping areas of the city

- Assistance and benefits common to companies that provide employment to the employees home office

In general, the city can do to develop this area very much, since his promotion, ending his own consumption of services to home offices. It should not be afraid that bad and will not raise taxes – now referred to 1,5 million do not pay taxes, being a burden, indeed, for society.
In terms of monitoring and accounting for “home” businesses should be treated exactly the same as the “office”. Difference, then there are none. It is important that there is a new and comfortable for city employment.
However, the main effect for a city like Moscow would be a dramatic reduction in the flow of vehicles, personnel involved coming to work the city’s residents and its environs. Here and the incredible savings, and improved living conditions and the chance that Moscow will ever income-generating tourist city.
Intensive whether a gradual reorientation of the majority of employees at off-site work – a revolution for the city. The path to a brighter future.
