Prospects for the renovation and modernization of urban development in the regions

Abstract

The article examines the prerequisites for the organization and implementation of renovation and modernization of the urban built environment in the regions of Russia. Since the largest number of multi- apartment panel residential buildings were built in the Moscow, pilot projects for the reconstruction and renovation of residential buildings were launched here. The programs were initially aimed at the reconstruction of five-storey dilapidated panel and block residential buildings. However, over time, 9-12-16–storey panel houses appear on the queue, which expire the period of physical and moral wear and tear. The technical condition of multi- apartment panel houses in various cities of the country is characterized by a decrease in the bearing capacity and operational characteristics of building structures and in the coming decades may lead not only to a decrease in consumer characteristics of housing, but also to the emergency condition of houses. In all regions of the country, major renovation programs of apartment buildings are currently being implemented. However, carrying out only planned work on the overhaul of residential buildings cannot solve the problem of restoring load-bearing structures and internal communications completely and, moreover, eliminate the moral deterioration of buildings that has occurred. Therefore, there is a need and expediency of an integrated approach to the renewal of the built-up urban environment, renovation and further modernization of the territory, the creation of a modern architectural appearance of the city with developed infrastructure and convenient transport interchanges. Due to the transition to digital technologies in the construction industry, there is a need to modernize the built environment. In the process of carrying out measures to modernize urban development with the introduction of digital technologies, the investment attractiveness of the territory increases. And this factor is most important for the long-term development of the territory.
