The path to a renewed Russia
In one of the May decrees of 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin approved the national project “Housing and Urban Environment”. Its structure includes four projects at the federal level:
- mortgage;
- housing;
- ensuring sustainable reduction of unsuitable housing stock;
- the formation of a comfortable urban environment.
The Mortgage project provides for the creation of opportunities and conditions for the population to be able to purchase housing using bank funds. It provides preferential mortgage rates, assistance in the form of issuing cash compensation for a down payment.
The federal programs “Housing” and “Ensuring the sustainable reduction of unsuitable housing stock” are aimed at supporting the construction of apartment buildings, increasing the volume of housing commissioning, reducing complex bureaucratic procedures in the construction field, and resettlement of a dilapidated and emergency fund.
The completely new format project “Formation of a comfortable urban environment” includes several integrated programs at the same time. They are united by a common goal - the creation of decent living conditions for Russians. Initially, the program was designed to be implemented until 2020. Subsequently, by decision of the president, the validity period was extended to 2024. By this time, it is planned to implement more than 400 improvement projects, as well as train about two thousand specialists. The essence of the program is that citizens are given the opportunity to choose which objects need to be improved. In addition, everyone can offer their own landscaping project. The best are selected on a competitive basis.
In total, the state is ready to spend more than 42 billion rubles on a national project. Of these, about 60% will be allocated from the federal budget, and the remaining costs will be borne by the regions. The program covers all municipalities with a population of more than one thousand people. And this means that not only cities, but also villages can become participants in the action. In the framework of the national project, a new look will be acquired by public areas (squares, parks, pedestrian streets, embankments) and courtyards.
For information. Land improvement can be done with a minimum list of work. In this case, all work will be paid from public funds. At the request of residents, an additional list of works is possible. In this case, co-financing of residents is necessary. It can be both cash and labor.
