The Influence of the Settlement System and Socio- Economic Conditions on the Development of Low-Rise Buildings in Russia

Abstract

The relevance of the topic is due to the presence of modern urban planning challenges and related problems of ensuring socio-economic development, environmental safety, the comfort of the living environment and the natural growth of the population of Russia.

The spatial development strategy of the Russian Federation, aimed at the development of large cities with millions of inhabitants, is disastrous for the country. To increase economic security and improve the demographic structure, it is necessary to revive small and medium-sized cities, rural settlements.

The most important factor of the Strategy is the mineral resource base. In the eastern regions of the country, along with mining, the processing and enrichment of minerals near the mining site will contribute to an increase in jobs and, accordingly, the population of cities. A powerful impetus for the development of the Siberian region and the sustainable development of the Russian economy will be the planned creation of three to five scientific, industrial and economic centers.

The formation of low-rise residential buildings should become the main direction in urban planning and architecture of the country, since about 70% of the population want to live in their own house with a plot of land. The Government has proposed a new strategic initiative "My Private House", aimed at the development of individual housing construction.
