Particularly good: Central St. Petersburg, especially Petrograd island[1] and other districts with smaller streets such as Peski/Kolomna. Smaller streets, slightly broken grid and uniform height 5-storey buildings lead to never experiencing serious wind. It has a different pest that is ice on the sidewalks, though. Vasilievsky island is slightly worse as there's wider streets and more regular grid. Particularly bad: The same St. Petersburg but now Brezhnevist and contemporary built up districts such as Murino[2] or Veteranov[3] (but any of these, actually). Even the pompious Stalinist Moscow avenue[4] would be quite uncomfortable in chilly wind and -15C. Wide streets mean faster winds and more walking. St. Petersburg is very transit oriented so most people do walk. The newly build Vostochnyi Cosmodrome Tsiolkovsky town[5] seems super chilly as it is the same pattern of high-rises separated by a long nothing. And it's located way north. You would need a space suit just to get groceries. 1. https://yandex.ru/maps/-/CDFjZUm4 https://yandex.ru/maps/-/CDFjZUm4 2. https://yandex.ru/maps/-/CDFjZU-0 https://yandex.ru/maps/-/CDFjZU-0 3. https://yandex.ru/maps/-/CDFjZY7J https://yandex.ru/maps/-/CDFjZY7J 4. https://yandex.ru/maps/-/CDFjZY2B https://yandex.ru/maps/-/CDFjZY2B 5. https://yandex.ru/maps/-/CDFjZR0D https://yandex.ru/maps/-/CDFjZR0D
