A discussion with representatives of the city administration and developers about the potential of the central part of Yekaterinburg for reconstruction and construction of facilities, as well as about solvable and unsolvable renovation problems.
Suggested questions for discussion:
- Despite the dense construction, the center still has the potential for construction and reconstruction. Which "spots" are really suitable for renovation?
- What prevents the demolition of all obsolete facilities in the center that are not under state protection? How can we overcome the legal difficulties associated with determining the owners of buildings and land, and the resistance of the public?
- Despite the increased demands on facilities under construction and the high cost of projects, developers still tend to build in the center. What formats provide the projected profit?
- There are still many monument buildings in the city. There are successful examples of their commercial reconstruction. How to attract investors, given the cost and complexity of work coordination?
- Reconstruction, replica, or remodel. How realistic is it to replace the ruined monuments with new high-quality architecture?
