It is necessary to create powerful industrial zones between Kazan and the surrounding areas in order to provide jobs to people living in this territory. This was stated by the President of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov at the scientific-project seminar "Development of agglomerations and transport infrastructure of the Republic of Tatarstan", which was held today at KSUAE. “It is wrong to build only housing without creating any industrial zones. These are the questions that need to be considered. For example, powerful industrial zones need to be created between Kazan and Zelenodolsk, - said the President of the Republic of Tatarstan. - Now we are reaping the fruits of early shortcomings: traffic jams, the discontent of local residents. Everyone is moving to the city because there are not enough jobs in the suburbs." According to the President of Tatarstan, if the municipal districts are not self-sufficient, then local residents will continue to look for work not on their territory, but outside it. “Housing has been built, transportation issues have been resolved, but where do people work? Will they travel to the city every day? In agglomerations, it is necessary to create an infrastructure for a comfortable life and work. We need industrial sites, technology parks, industrial parks. It is necessary to create new points of attraction,” - Rustam Minnikhanov emphasized. The President noted that the topic of the development of agglomerations is very important. “This is a lot of work. We must start with an understanding of what we have in the agglomerations today. It is necessary to look at the zones that are not involved. And before you plan anything, you need to identify weak points in order to know how to move,” - he added. Rustam Minnikhanov drew attention to the fact that housing construction should be accompanied by the development of social infrastructure. “You cannot create social tension,” - he stressed. The President of the Republic of Tatarstan is also convinced that there should be a management system for the agglomeration.
Six hospitals will soon open in Tatarstan after major repairs. Deputy Minister of Construction, Architecture, Housing and Communal Services of the Republic of Tatarstan Ildus Nasyrov spoke about this at a press conference at the Tatar-inform news agency. “The work is close to completion in the children's city hospital in the city of Nizhnekamsk, at Mendeleev Street, 45, as well as in central regional hospitals in Aznakaevo, Buinsk, Muslyumovo, Leninogorsk, Nizhnekamsk,” - the speaker noted. In total, 18 hospitals will be overhauled this year, now more than 73% of the work has been completed. In 2021, the overhaul of three healthcare facilities has already been completed, including the medical building No. 2 of the Hospital for war veterans of Kazan. The work was carried out there in stages - on floors and departments. The works lasted over a year. Feldsher-Obstetric Points are now being built in 42 districts of Tatarstan.
In Tatarstan, there is an understandable and transparent system of housing and communal services, which is strictly controlled by the state. This was stated at the meeting of the Volga expert club by the first deputy minister of Construction, Architecture, Housing and Communal Services of the Republic of Tatarstan Alexei Frolov. He recalled that the current Housing Code of the country has been working for 15 years. It is largely aimed at attracting private organizations to the housing sector, but this process has developed differently in each region of the country. “Where there is continuity of power, as in Tatarstan, the system is built, and it is tightly controlled,” - Frolov said. As an opposite example, he cited Moscow, where state unitary enterprises of the Soviet type are still operating, and billions of rubles in subsidies are spent on maintaining the housing sector. “We don’t have such a thing, this sphere lives on what the homeowners really pay for,” - Frolov explained. “It is necessary to clearly separate the sphere of housing management and the utilities sphere. In the utilities sector, the state needs to tighter control over the pricing of organizations. Because there are large resources and reserves that can be redirected to other areas,” - summed up Alexei Frolov.

From 13 to 19 July 2021, state and municipal customers, developers, municipalities - Engineering companies, Capital Construction Directorates underwent advanced training in information modeling technologies (IMT). The training programs were developed by the Department of State Expertise and Pricing of the Republic of Tatarstan for Construction and Architecture with the assistance of the Ministry of Construction of the Republic of Tatarstan and leading practitioners in IMT technologies. The training took place at the educational center of the State Autonomous Institution, which trains highly qualified personnel of a new generation, capable of quickly adapting to the constantly changing conditions of modern society. As a result of the training, the students realized the relevance and necessity of implementing information modeling technologies. They have studied new topics, and also plan to share the knowledge gained and conduct training within the company. Moreover, they passed the final test for knowledge of the studied material and completed a practical task on drawing up a design assignment taking into account the IMT. The main difficulties in the implementation of information modeling technologies can be identified: the lack of suitable personnel and expensive software and equipment. Courses will also be organized for chief project engineers, builders and surveyors.
