DOM.RF has launched a free online educational course “How to create modern cities. New urbanism in Russian realities”. The program will introduce the principles and methods of applying the Standard for the Integrated Development of Territories. “The standard was developed within the framework of the national project “Housing and Urban Environment” and contains recommendations for the development of residential development in cities. Its application will allow reaching a new level of urban environment quality. For the fastest study of the standard DOM.RF has developed an educational course "How to create modern cities", which tells about the new principles of urban planning. As practice shows, today, without knowledge of these fundamentals, it will not be possible to create a product demanded by buyers - housing, which will be in demand for many years to come,” - said Vladimir Yakushev, Minister of Construction and Housing and Utilities of the Russian Federation. The course consists of 10 modules and will take about 10 hours to complete. The optimal course period is a week. During this time, the participants of the training course will learn how with the help of the Standard it is possible to find optimal solutions for the development of built-up areas and the development of free territories, the formation of a planning structure for development, the design of residential buildings and the improvement of open public spaces. Registration for the course is open on the website http://стандарт-жилья.дом.рф/

Michel Pena, one of the best landscape architects in France, will be involved in the development of the right bank of the Kazanka. The architect will be engaged not only in the improvement of Kazanka, but also in the development of the project for the center of the family "Kazan" (the project should be prepared by the end of the year). Michel Pen's projects are not only beautiful and sustainable - they contribute to the cultural content of the environment, strengthening the emotional ties of residents with the urban landscape. For example, in Paris, Michel Pena created the "Atlantic Garden" park on the roof of the Montparnasse train station, which became France's first green landscape roof with eco-engineering. In Russia Michel Pena worked on the concept of the VDNKh Landscape Park in Moscow. This public space, opened in 2018, is divided into five natural zones, where unusual landscape attractions have been created. For example, an aquatic garden, where you can walk along pontoons, among which exotic aquatic plants bloom. Another example is a green checkerboard-shaped maze, its walls are formed by a hedge of trees and shrubs of various species.

Such data were announced today at a meeting in the Government House of the Republic of Tatarstan by the Minister of Construction, Architecture, Housing and Communal Services of the Republic of Tatarstan Marat Aizatullin. In more detail, the head of the Ministry of Construction of the Republic of Tatarstan gave information on the volume of overhaul work performed for each municipal district. The republic continues a program of overhaul repairing of warm toilets in educational institutions. Out of the 286 objects 164 have been completed, 122 are in progress, and 63 are undergoing preparatory work. The capital repairs of educational buildings and dormitories have been completed at 1 facility, work is underway at 2 facilities. Out of 17 objects of the program of the overhaul repairing of resource centers, work has been completed at 12, 5 objects are in operation.

They will help reduce the negative impact on the environment. From January 1, 2021, Unified Requirements for the Operation of Waste Processing Plants and Landfills will begin to operate in Russia. This resolution was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. Nowadays, such requirements are regulated by many documents. On their basis, a single code was drawn up, which also included several new norms. For example, the document states that burial and incineration of waste are possible only in cases where they are unsuitable for processing. In addition, priority in sorting waste should be given to automated work. This will allow extracting the maximum amount of waste types for further disposal. Several clauses of the requirements govern the closure of landfills. Such facilities must be decommissioned if they are filled to their design capacity or do not meet environmental safety requirements. Factories and landfills that were designed or built before 2021 must meet these requirements by January 1, 2026. And new objects will need to be designed taking into account the accepted rules.

Funds for housing for large families are allocated only from the republican budget. Tatarstan will allocate 211 million rubles for the program to provide housing to large families in 2021. This was announced by the Minister of Finance of the Republic of Tatarstan Radik Gayzatullin at the parliamentary hearings in the State Council of the republic. “Large families are financed only from the republican budget. The volume for 2021 is fixed - 211 million rubles ", - noted the head of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Tatarstan. At the same time, 895 million rubles will be allocated to provide housing for orphans, of which 65 million rubles are from the federal budget, the minister added. Note that this year, 46 large families received support. It is also planned to provide housing for 600 orphans.

Changes have been made to the methodology for allocating budget funds. Citizens moving from the Far North and equivalent areas will be able to receive social benefits for the purchase of housing in a shorter time. The decree on amending a number of regulations was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. Now federal funds allocated for housing certificates will be redistributed between regions through government orders. That is, if there is an economy in one subject, the money will be promptly redirected to the region in need. Previously, this process was regulated only by the budget law, which significantly slowed down the process. Another change concerns people with disabilities leaving the Far North. To obtain housing certificates, they no longer have to provide a certificate of disability. The authorized bodies will independently receive this information using the state information system "Federal Register of Disabled People". Recall that in Tatarstan in 2020, 24 families will improve their living conditions with the help of housing certificates. Citizens moving from the Far North, Chernobyl victims and internally displaced persons will receive certificates.

The Federal Commission has summed up the results of the All-Russian competition "Best Municipal Practice". Six participants in each nomination, who received the highest marks from the jury, will receive from 10 to 75 million rubles. The awards recognize the most advanced and technologically advanced solutions that can be scaled across the country. At the same time, the issue of changing the conditions of the competition is being considered - from next year there may be more winners. Participants are divided into two categories. The first is urban districts (urban districts with intracity divisions) and urban settlements. Depending on the prize, the winners will receive from 30 million to 75 million rubles. The second category is rural settlements. The winners in this group will be awarded from 10 million to 25 million rubles. The total prize fund of the competition is one billion rubles. Within the framework of the All-Russian competition "Best Municipal Practice", the Ministry of Construction of Russia oversees two nominations - in the field of implementing smart city solutions and comprehensive urban improvement.

Minister of Construction, Architecture, Housing and Communal Services of the Republic of Tatarstan Marat Aizatullin together with Minister of Ecology of the Republic of Tatarstan Alexander Shadrikov today assessed the progress of work at the reclaimed landfill near the village Prosti and visited the renovated Krasnoklyuchinsky damb. As of today, 3800 Larsen sheet piles have been immersed at the bank protection facility (in total, 4214 sheet piles will form the basis of the structure). The device of the cap beam is 60% completed, the formation of the slope - 26%. Recall that in connection with the critical situation resulting from the emergency state of the bank protection structure, and the threat of flooding of settlements, at the request of the President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov, the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia allocated funds to complete the reconstruction of the damb in 2020.

Citizens will be able to send their feedback and suggestions over the Internet. From January 1, 2021, the authorities of cities and districts will have to post information about plans for the improvement of territories on the Internet, and citizens will be able to vote for them and make their proposals. Now, this practice is adopted mainly in large cities. From the new year, it will be introduced throughout the country. To launch this mechanism, the Government has made changes to the state program "Provision of affordable and comfortable housing and utilities." It will make it possible to make transparent decision-making regarding the improvement of urban areas. In addition to the results of the discussion of plans, citizens will be able to get access to information on the composition of public commissions for the consideration of improvement projects, get acquainted with the minutes and schedules of their meetings.
