Skolkovo is designed by the French bureau AREP Ville. Engineers from SETEC and landscape architects from Michel Desvigne have participated in the creation of the project, both also from France. The territory of the city is divided into five districts, all of which have their own curator.

For example, the southern district is D1, including the International Medical Cluster and the Mendeleev office district, the curator of which is Sergey Tchoban (the managing partner of the architectural studio SPEECH). Next, the Technopark district is D2, curated by Jean Pistre (head of the French bureau Valode & Pistre). The Skoltech area is D3 and it has two curators, Boris Bernaskoni (head of the architectural bureau Bernaskoni) and Pierre de Meuron (co-founder of the architectural bureau Herzog & De Meuron). The northern district is D4, curated by Yuri Grigoryan (head of the bureau Project Meganom). The central zone between D2 and D3 is called Z1, with the main guest facilities and the transport hub. It also has its own curator, Regnier de Graaf (partner at O.M.A.).

The Skolkovo project was awarded a special jury prize at the 13th International Architecture Biennale in Venice. "Skolkovo" was awarded for the "magic of a didactic approach to combining Russia's past, present and future".

Technopark Skolkovo is Europe's largest technopark, featuring all the conditions for the development and growth of start-ups.

Skolkovo facilities are designed by architects of world renown, such as Zaha Hadid, Jacques Herzog, Pierre de Meuron, David Chipperfield, Kazuo Sejima and many others. In addition, the city has two facilities created by Pritzker Prize winners: the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology and Sberbank Technopark.

Innovative technologies are being actively implemented in Skolkovo: there is a rover that can deliver food, a taxi moves on autopilot, but under the responsive guidance of the operator. Pilot 5G zones have been launched with the support of MTS, Beeline and Huawei.

Skolkovo is the only urban area in Russia, which creates its unique identity in interaction with the arts through an ongoing programme. There are currently 14 art objects, 3 monuments, and 7 objects of monumental-decorative art.

There is a Science Park in Skolkovo, called in honour of Zhores Alferov, who was a Nobel Prize-winning physicist and Skolkovo's first scientific director. At the park's entrance, you can see the academician's quote: "Skolkovo is not a territory, but the ideology".
