in

Sochi is a large city on Russia’s Black Sea coast, with resort districts, residential neighbourhoods and mountain access spread along a narrow shoreline, while tourism and sport dominate the economy.

Routes between neighbourhoods and outer districts reveal how the destination changes beyond its principal attractions. Routes between neighbourhoods and public spaces reveal how the destination changes beyond its principal attractions, especially where neighbourhoods meets public spaces.
