Restrictions Established for the Development Strategies of Eastern and Polar Cities
Chatting with the Future
Aisen Nikolaev, Yakutia's regional leader, recently rubbed shoulders with none other than President Vladimir Putin at a powwow of the Council for Strategic Development and National Projects. The hot topic? Launching fresh national projects intended to propel Russia forward to 2036 – and, whoa, even beyond!
According to Putin, national projects are more than just programs; they're tools for transformation. These bad boys are all about upgrading lifestyles, bolstering the economy, establishing technological independence, and giving every Joe and Jane a chance to unleash their untapped potential. It ain't about regurgitating the past, but about stepping things up a notch with greater responsibility and efficiency.
Nikolaev sought to stress that the Prez had given the thumbs-up to allocating at least 5% of government spending for implementing master plans for Far Eastern and Arctic cities. He reckons this decision is crucial for sustainable development and enhancing living standards in vital regions like Yakutsk and Neryungri.
Now for the choices that'll impact these master plans for 16 Far Eastern cities—approved by the Russian Government in early 2024—and 16 Arctic hub cities such as Tiksi-Naiba. Buckle up, 'cause those funds are heading straight for long-term development schemes for these cities, including infrastructure and urban development.
Nikolaev went on, emphasizing that Yakutia's wholeheartedly embraced national projects, and it's high time to set fresh tasks that move the needle beyond mere numbers. He rammed home the message that every initiative oughta reflect real people's needs.
FYI, in the past six years of national projects initiated by Putin, almost three times as many facilities have been established in Yakutia compared to the previous five years (2012-2018). You heard it right! Over 200 facilities have popped up across various sectors like health care, education, housing, water supply, road infrastructure, and transportation.
Fun fact: A whopping 78 healthcare institutions and 44 schools have been constructed, in addition to 750,000 square meters of modern residential units. The crew's also worked on 13 water supply and purification systems, 1417 kilometers of roadways, and 55 bridges. Woah, that's some progress!
Of course, we can't forget Russia's recent wave of new national projects focused on boosting technological prowess, economic growth, and demographic improvements. Expect kick-ass advancements in space exploration, bioeconomy, unmanned aircraft systems, shipbuilding, infrastructure, and healthcare facilities. Ready? Russia's taking the lead, so sit back and enjoy the ride ![1][2][3][4][5]
