Analysis of the construction of affordable housing in Russia
The situation has changed for the better – Ferrario evaluates the chances of implementing the project quite optimistic. According to him, it was possible to draw such social projects in much worst situations. As an example, he cited the countries of Africa, which have no means, no state support, no corporate culture, no building materials, not to mention the fact that they have no banal benefits – water and electricity. And in comparison with them, our country is originally in the best position, and this must be used.
According to the architect, the situation in today’s Russia has changed for the better compared to what was during his previous visit several years ago. To prove his words, he gave one example. Last time, Ferrario argued that the land allocated for social projects should not be paid, but did not find understanding. To date, he sees that the state does it possible. On changes in the attitude of the state to social housing construction, the faith of the Italian guest in success is based.
Ferrario does not exclude that foreign, including European, investments will be involved in the project, but if only it will be beneficial. The main thing is to make sure that cheap European money does not turn here into expensive ones, he emphasized. On this occasion, appropriate negotiations are underway with financial and credit institutions.
One of the main obstacles to the implementation of the project, the urbanist called a weak interaction between participants in the construction process. The second – considers the variability of the legislation in the country, which forces the construction business to freeze in anticipation of how the law will work.
