Vladimir Yakushev noted the relevance of the forum topic. The "city of the Future" is a city where people have opportunities for self-realization. They are happy to move through its cozy streets. The problems of personal and public transport have been solved in this city. There is an appropriate social infrastructure. People feel safe here. Naturally, they do what they love. They have a job. And of course, they raise children. The priority task of the Ministry of Construction is to make the cities of the future the cities of the present," the minister said.

Evgeny Kuyvashev emphasized that "cities play a dominant role in the development of modern society and the economy at both the global and regional levels. The issues of improving people's quality of life are inextricably linked to the issues of the present and future of cities."

Arkady Chernetsky, answering the moderator's question about the "city of the future", noted that the main criteria are convenience and safety, and separately emphasized "that the security problem for the city of the future is one of the most important."

On the second day, the business program of the forum included 25 thematic sessions, including the sessions "Energy-efficient technologies in the cities of the future."
