Residents of more than 1,700 old houses have relocated or are in the process of relocation since the start of implementation renovation programs. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction Vladimir Efimov.
“The implementation of the renovation program is carried out on the principle of wave resettlement: new buildings appear in place of demolished objects or on specially prepared territories. This allows for the phased renewal of the housing stock, as well as providing citizens with modern comfortable apartments not far from their old homes. In total, the program approved in August 2017 includes 5,176 residential buildings, with residents of more than 1.7 thousand of them having already moved or being in the process of resettlement,” said Vladimir Efimov.
The largest number of such houses is located in the South-Eastern Administrative District — 295. In second place is the east of the capital — 293 houses, and in third place the Western Administrative District — 202 buildings. All participants in the program receive apartments with improved layouts in new residential complexes built according to renovation standards. This is high-quality modern housing that takes into account the needs of all categories of citizens, including those with limited mobility.
Houses relocated under the renovation program are dismantled using the modern “smart demolition” technology, which involves disassembling buildings in stages. At the same time, all construction waste is immediately sent for recycling. New residential complexes with accompanying infrastructure appear on the freed sites.
The renovation program was approved in August 2017. It affects about a million Muscovites and provides for the resettlement of 5,176 buildings. Earlier, the Mayor of Moscow ordered to increase the pace of the program’s implementation in twice. He also spoke about the implementation of the renovation program in Ryazan district.
