The session is planned as a discussion between representatives of regional and municipal authorities and leading representatives of architectural bureaus about the work done and the development of landscaping by legislation and support projects. As part of the Federal project “Creating a comfortable Urban Environment”, more than 111 thousand public spaces have been landscaped across the country since 2017. At this discussion, we will talk with representatives of regional and municipal authorities and leading representatives of architectural bureaus about the work done and the development of landscaping by legislation and support and incentive projects.
A comfortable and cozy urban environment should take into account the needs of various groups of the population: pedestrians, cyclists, people with disabilities, parents with strollers and toddlers with running bikes. It is important to find a balance between functionality and aesthetics of the urban environment. On the one hand, it is important to create convenient conditions for the movement and residence of citizens, to ensure the safety and accessibility of urban facilities and services. On the other hand, it is equally important to preserve and develop urban culture, create an attractive urban environment for life and leisure, which helps preserve the mental health of citizens and increases their satisfaction with life in the city. Developers who are arranging spaces around new residential complexes, architects who are offering new solutions, and designers who are creating new points of attraction are involved in solving this problem. The municipality plays a key role in harmonizing the activities of all factors to form a systematic approach to landscaping.
In 2024, the President of the Russian Federation extended the project until 2030 and instructed to increase funding. Many organizations worked on the creation of concepts for landscaping the territories included in the project: from leading architectural bureaus to local studios; billions of rubles were allocated for their implementation and countless hours of labor were spent. Thanks to the Federal project “Creating a comfortable urban environment” and other national projects, the cities of our country have become much more comfortable, aesthetic and convenient. The standard of living, domestic tourism, manufacturing and industries involved in the implementation of landscaping projects are developing.
