Comprehensive Development of Territories (CDT) is a mechanism for the accelerated involvement of abandoned or inefficiently used lands into circulation, primarily for residential construction. This urban redevelopment mechanism has been in effect since 2021 and is increasing its pace each year. For example, in the Central Federal District, practical implementation of projects has started on 569 sites, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.
“During work trips to the regions, I regularly check the progress of comprehensive territorial development projects, as this is an effective tool for quality urban redevelopment within the national project ‘Infrastructure for Life.’ For example, just recently in the Kemerovo region, I inspected an area where an apartment building is being constructed as part of the comprehensive territorial development. Kuzbass is one of the vivid examples of applying this mechanism. Moreover, comprehensive territorial development is currently active throughout the entire country. This mechanism allows the inclusion of inefficiently used territories into circulation and the creation of modern residential quarters with the necessary infrastructure in their place. The regions are moving away from spot development and forming a full-fledged urban environment where schools, roads, and utilities are created simultaneously with new housing. For instance, now in the Central Federal District, 799 territories with a total area of about 13.6 thousand hectares are being worked on, where it is possible to build 127.3 million square meters of real estate, including 88 million square meters of housing. Practical implementation of projects has started on 569 sites: this is 10 thousand hectares with an urban development potential of 92 million square meters of real estate, of which 66.5 million square meters is residential space,” said Marat Khusnullin.
The Deputy Prime Minister added that the leaders in the number of implemented PRT projects in the Central Federal District are Moscow (265), Moscow Region (133), and Tula Region (30).
By order of the President, last year KRT projects received federal funding for the first time. The subsidy program included 37 entities, including five regions of the Central Federal District – Bryansk Region, Oryol Region, Tambov Region, Ivanovo Region, Kostroma Region.
Bryansk Oblast, as part of the KRT project, has begun construction of kindergartens in Bryansk and the village of Sven. In Oryol Oblast, wastewater treatment facilities are under construction. In Kostroma Oblast, a road is being laid and a technological connection to the centralized sewage system is being made. In Tambov, a road and a kindergarten are being built.
“Within the framework of the CRT projects, the necessary infrastructure is being created to ensure the timely and high-quality commissioning of residential spaces. Federal subsidies are primarily allocated to facilities that directly contribute to the development of housing construction. Currently, 762.39 thousand square meters of space have been commissioned under the CRT in the Central Federal District, including 636.85 thousand square meters of housing. The pace is not slowing down, and new territories are being developed,” noted Alexander Lomakin, First Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Communal Services.
Comprehensive territorial development also serves as an effective tool for solving the socially significant task of eliminating housing unfit for living.
“In the Central Federal District, the resettlement of emergency housing within the framework of comprehensive territorial development projects is planned in 10 regions. To date, about 34.6 thousand square meters of emergency housing have already been resettled, improving the living conditions of more than 2,000 people. The largest volume of work has been carried out in the Kostroma, Oryol, and Belgorod regions. In total, about 20.2 thousand square meters of emergency housing have been resettled in these three regions. The CRT mechanism allows for a comprehensive approach to renewing residential development, developing infrastructure, and creating comfortable living conditions for people,” said Vasily Kupyzin, General Director of the Territorial Development Fund.
In addition, work is underway on 24 territories, the comprehensive development of which is carried out by PJSC DOM.RF.
