The adopted document is a practical step in the work on the creation of the information system for ensuring urban planning activities in the Russian Federation, said Dmitry Volkov, Deputy Minister of Construction, Housing and Communal Services of Russia. He clarified that thanks to the system it will become possible to accumulate, store, analyze and exchange data on construction objects at all stages of their life cycle.
