The annual Gaidar Forum traditionally opens the agenda for the development of the national economy for the next year with an eye to the implementation of strategic goals. The dynamism of modern economic processes requires not just taking into account external challenges and internal problems, but forecasting changes in the global economic landscapes, modeling systemic changes in the allocation of productive forces and the possibilities of integrating Russia into existing and emerging technological chains. The intensive development of new industries, the targeted focus of investments on investments in the knowledge economy, the transformation of the industrial, transport, energy and housing and communal framework of capital funds set a new rhythm of construction. Its ultimate goal is to create a real estate sector that provides balanced spatial development, accelerated energy transfer and advanced development of human capital as a basis for improving the comfort, quality and standard of living of citizens.
 The range of topics discussed touched upon almost all strategic objectives of achieving the goals of national projects. Priorities for the development of the real estate sector were announced in various contexts: digital and administrative transformation, scientific and personnel support, formation of a comfortable urban environment, housing construction and mortgage boom, master planning tools, etc. At the same time, behind the obvious thematic favorites of the new rhythm of construction and transformation of the real estate sector, a number of important problems remained in the “shadow” of panel discussions. Among them: the euphoria of housing construction and the danger of possible imbalances, professional transformation and the challenges of digitalization, the risks of human-centered and distance education, the discomfort of the business environment in real estate, the vacuum of modern tools for resolving economic disputes and coordinating economic interests, etc.
 Developing a view on the priorities of the development of the real estate sector in terms of ensuring the rights of shareholders and the transition to project financing, the issues of ensuring the quality of housing and communal services, further capitalization of the housing stock, mechanisms for resolving contradictions between tenants and management companies, etc. remained outside the Forum. These issues, being an integral part of a comfortable business environment and the living environment of citizens, actualize a new context of development from Priorities to Parities of economic interests and tracks of development of “power – business – man”.
