In particular, Mikhail Menn noted that each Russian town should have its peculiar architecture appearance. At the same time, there should be specific standards developed by the Housing Mortgage Lending Agency (AIZhK) with consideration for city’s and regional peculiarities.
These standards are to be elaborated over the course of the year 2017 and then forwarded to the regions. On the basis of these standards the regional specifications on cities development will be developed.
The Minister specified, that approximately 10 bln roubles annually wouldn’t be required for elaboration and implementation of these norms, as well as for encouraging the best performing cities to carry out city improvement works. This is the proposal with which the Construction Ministry came forward at the presidium meeting.
Mikhail Menn explained to reporters that the standards under development, approximately 20 ones for different regions and towns, wouldn’t be compulsory, but rather non-regulatory.
