President of Tatarstan: The development of agglomerations will contribute to an increase in housing commissioning

The development of agglomerations will make it possible to increase the volume of housing construction in the republic. This was stated today by the President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov at a meeting of the final board of the Ministry of Construction, Architecture, Housing and Communal Services of the Republic of Tatarstan. Rustam Minnikhanov recalled that the construction complex of Tatarstan faces a difficult task - to bring the volume of housing construction to 3.5 million square meters by 2030. For this, it is important to find a balance between financial demand and supply in the housing and services market. In this matter, according to the President of Tatarstan, the priority is the development of agglomerations. The formation of the Kazan, Kama and, in the future, the Almetyevsk agglomerations is provided for by the Strategy-2030. “We need to plan our work based on new opportunities. The implementation of programs for the development of urban areas is envisaged, which makes it possible to comprehensively renovate buildings with the involvement of extra-budgetary sources. When planning residential development, it is necessary to ensure not only connection to utilities but also synchronization with the creation of social, road, transport and business infrastructure. It is necessary to move from infill development and construction of individual residential complexes to the balanced development of agglomerations, to provide jobs for residents of new micro-districts near the house," - the President of Tatarstan emphasized.
