Marat Khusnullin to present projects on creating a comfortable and safe living environment at the National Centre RUSSIA

The National Centre RUSSIA continues its thematic programme series "Platform of the Future: 100 Projects of Russia", dedicated to the national development goals set out in Presidential Decree No. 309. The second event in the series will take place on 28 October. Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Marat Khusnullin will present projects under the national goal "A Comfortable and Safe Living Environment".

By the end of the year, seven thematic meetings will be held, featuring major initiatives spanning the social and infrastructure spheres, ecology, industry, the economy and culture. Presentations at the National Centre RUSSIA will be delivered by members of the Russian Government and heads of ministries responsible for implementing national projects and achieving the national development goals.

Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Marat Khusnullin will present projects aimed at improving quality of life and creating better living conditions for Russian citizens. Sustainable development is grounded in ensuring that every citizen has access to affordable housing. This serves not only as the foundation for strong families and a prosperous future but also as a powerful driver of comprehensive territorial development. During the discussion, Marat Khusnullin will share plans to increase housing availability and to renew the national housing stock by 2030.

The comprehensive development of key populated areas is another priority. These territories form the infrastructural and economic framework of the country and are home to 75 per cent of its population, making it essential to enhance the quality of life there. The meeting with Marat Khusnullin will feature announcements of projects on urban improvement, the creation of a comfortable urban environment, and the modernisation of public utilities, and road infrastructure.

Extensive work is also underway to develop transport infrastructure and improve road safety. The focus in the near future will be on the large-scale construction of the Russia International Transport Corridor, the M-12 Vostok motorway and the Azov Ring. Along with increasing passenger and freight flows and reducing travel time, these initiatives will enhance the accessibility of remote areas and stimulate investment activity, leading to the creation of new industrial zones, logistics centres, residential districts, and tourist facilities.

Special attention is being given to the restoration and creation of new-generation infrastructure in historical, newly reunited regions. Priority is being given to housing and social facilities — polyclinics and hospitals, cultural centres and museums, stadiums, swimming pools and sports complexes, schools and kindergartens, universities, colleges and technical schools. Marat Khusnullin will present the strategy for the socio-economic development of these territories and outline the facilities planned for construction in the coming years.

Another key topic will be projects on the creation and modernisation of cultural and educational clusters. Ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Artek International Children’s Centre, large-scale reconstruction of the complex is underway: two new buildings have been completed, the embankment has been renovated, and the construction of the Centre for Innovative Educational Technologies is nearing completion.

The development of university infrastructure will also be addressed. Following the instruction of the Russian President Vladimir Putin, work continues nationwide to create a network of world-class student campuses. This initiative opens up broad opportunities for improving the quality of education and scientific research, as well as for attracting talented young people from across the country.

The meeting with Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of the Russian Federation Marat Khusnullin will also be attended by representatives of federal executive authorities, regional speakers and industry experts.
