Plenary session "Russia's Land Potential: improving the efficiency of use"

Russia is a country with a huge reserve of land resources. An effective public administration system makes it possible to preserve land potential and comprehensively develop territories. Land is the basis for the development of regional economies, and therefore the basis for improving people’s quality of life.

Topics for discussion:
  • Focus on efficiency: using unused land
  • Infrastructural breakthrough: land as the main resource
  • Rational use: support measures, tools, control
  • IDT: land as a growth point for regions
  • Land for people: improving the quality of life
  • Risks and threats of preserving land potential

Conference "Digitalization in land management"

Land is a resource that no community can imagine without. It is the land that, if used effectively, becomes the basis for social well-being and economic stability of the state. But successful land management is impossible without high-quality and up-to-date data. Today, technologies allow monitoring and collecting information about land plots, as well as analyzing the information received.. Modern services simplify the interaction of government, business and the public, and ensure transparency of processes related to the registration of property rights. What other innovations is the government preparing in this area?

Topics for discussion:
  • Introduction of digital technologies for land management
  • Application of digital tools and geoinformation systems for land monitoring
  • State program "National Spatial Data System": digital transformation
  • The Land for construction project
  • Digital technologies in agriculture: new approaches
  • How can businesses use digital platforms and their data to analyze, plan, and implement investment projects?


STRATEGY Hall
16:30 — 18:00
Discussion "Integrated development of territories: interaction between government and business"

Integrated territorial development is a type of activity that affects the interests of government, business, and the public. The IDT programs include the renovation of old territories and the development of new ones, improving the urban environment and creating comfortable living conditions, developing the economy of the regions and increasing their tourist attractiveness. The decision to conduct such programs is made by government representatives. Developers' interest in them is explained by the long-term nature of the projects and, in some cases, government support. However, IDT programs also imply a high level of responsibility for all project participants. How is the IDT regulated at the legislative level? How is the investment attractiveness of the programs ensured? And how are the risks minimized?

Topics for discussion:
  • The immediate plans of the state authorities to improve the legislation on the IDT
  • Urban planning and economic approaches to the formation of urban development territories in different regions of Russia
  • How can developers be encouraged to participate in projects for the IDT in the regions? Minimizing the risks of project participants
  • Involvement of property owners in IDT projects or withdrawal: how to find a balance
  • Features of the integration of IDT programs with other city and federal programs
  • Provision of credit for IDT projects by banks
  • Real — world practices of IDT

Conference "Agglomerations and clusters: effective models of territorial development"

Agglomeration is one of the effective tools for the development of regions. The convergence of urban and rural settlements, the building of economic, social and cultural ties between them, allows us to unlock the potential of the territories. Businesses are opening in adjacent localities that enhance each other’s competitive advantages. In this regard, there is a need for the redevelopment of industrial spaces and the creation of new production sites, the construction of residential areas and the development of infrastructure. The accumulation of sectoral and intersectoral enterprises in one territory gradually leads to the formation of clusters. Which clusters and agglomerations are actively developing in Russia today? And what measures of state support are provided for them?

Topics for discussion:
  • Which agglomerations in Russia are currently developing most actively, and the role of land resources and business interests in their formation?
  • Features of the development of industrial and agro-industrial clusters within urban and interregional agglomerations. How is cooperation between the state and private residents being built?
  • Which clusters have become growth points on the map of Russia? Financing and government mechanisms to stimulate their development opportunities to attract private investment
  • Residential housing clusters as a new type of housing. Why do large developers go to residential housing?

Conference "Land attracts: assets for private investors"

Investing in real estate is a common option for saving money and generating income for private investors. Real estate is more stable than many assets, it reacts less to changes in economic life. But if private investors think about investments in residential and commercial real estate quite often, then they think about land plots much less often. How can land be of interest to a private investor? And how can it generate income?

Topics for discussion:
  • Risk analysis of ownership of different types of land assets
  • Assessment of the liquidity of investments in land assets
  • Optimization of land portfolios: opinions of professionals

Conference "Urban Development: challenges and solution vectors"

The number of urban residents is growing every year. According to experts, by 2050, more than 70% of the world’s population will be concentrated within cities. This trend poses a number of difficult tasks for urbanists: the redevelopment of territories and the development of new lands, the reconstruction of former industrial buildings and neighborhoods. How are all these tasks being solved today? And what challenges may developers face in the foreseeable future?

Topics for discussion:
  • Master plan of the territory as the basis of the city
  • Development of urban planning documentation for the involvement of undeveloped lands
  • Development of "abandoned" lands
  • Features of modern development of single-industry towns
  • Restoration of new territories: development of master plans for urban restoration in new territories with an emphasis on integrated development and landscaping
  • The role of private investment and developers in the development of undeveloped and abandoned territories


STRATEGY Room
10:00 — 12:00
Conference "Sustainable City — smart and green solutions for the future"

Sustainable development is one of the most commonly used concepts among urbanists. What is invested in it? Sustainability is a responsibility towards man, society, the planet and, as a result, towards future generations. The creation of a sustainable city covers different areas of life. In a sustainable economy, the development of local enterprises, the reasonable use of resources and their reuse come to the fore. In the social sphere — the construction of houses, the creation of infrastructure, the design of natural objects not in isolation from human needs, but in response to them. In sustainable ecology, the goal is to reduce the city’s impact on the environment. Solving all these problems is impossible without modern technologies. What technologies does a sustainable city need?

Topics for discussion:
  • "Green" solutions in urban infrastructure — what helps the economy?
  • The role of socially responsible business in the sustainable development of cities
  • Energy-efficient technologies in modern construction. What does the market offer today?
  • Prospects for the development of electric transport: what infrastructure does the city lack?
  • Smart solutions for real estate management
  • How can the sustainability of a city be assessed? Modern ESG approaches


STRATEGY Room
14:30 — 16:00
Discussion "Land for life: the development of residential housing"

The residential housing market is constantly growing, but it remains ambiguous for developers. The construction of low-rise buildings often also includes work on engineering networks and laying roads. Apartment buildings require less investment, and generate many times more income. However, residential housing is interesting because it opens up access to new land plots on which the construction of other types of housing is impossible. In the future, private development can become a worthy alternative to apartments. What can we expect from the residential housing market in the coming years? How will the face of the private sector change with the introduction of the "green building" standard, which affects a variety of criteria from architecture and engineering of houses to infrastructure and landscaping?

Topics for discussion:
  • Analysis of the potential of the residential housing market. What opportunities do developers have?
  • Implementation of the escrow account mechanism: how will it affect the market?
  • Necessary infrastructure: what needs to be considered?
  • Introduction of the national standard of "green construction" in residential housing


DEVELOPMENT Hall
10:30 — 12:00
Conference "Effective land involvement in agricultural turnover: state strategy until 2030"

Efficient use of the country’s land potential is one of the government’s top priorities. Land is an important component of a successful economy, which is why the state is interested in developing and implementing land management programs. Today in Russia there is a program "Effective involvement in the turnover of agricultural land and the development of the land reclamation complex." What activities does it include?

Topics for discussion:
  • What measures will make it possible to bring fallow lands into circulation, given their low profitability and infrastructural constraints?
  • How can we minimize legal difficulties and increase the investment attractiveness of developing these lands?
  • What subsidy and government support programs are available to farmers and investors interested in developing land and modernizing agricultural production?
  • How are digital technologies changing the approach to land management?
  • What role does land involvement play in the implementation of the food security program?
  • How does the involvement of land in the turnover contribute to the development of farming as the basis for sustainable development of the territory?


DEVELOPMENT Hall
12:30 — 14:00
Discussion "The earth invites: the development of ecotourism and new horizons for tourism and recreation"

Every year, the territories of nature reserves and national parks in our country are expanded, hiking trails are adapted to meet the needs of various categories of visitors, and special recreation areas are being set up. As the demand for eco-tourism grows, so does the demand for tourism infrastructure. Ecological resorts, glamping sites, and hotel complexes are appearing near protected areas. This has a positive impact on the economy of the regions as a whole: roads are being built, shops are opening, the service sector is growing, and new jobs are emerging. What opportunities does ecotourism open up for investors?

Topics for discussion:
  • The role of natural and cultural landscapes in the formation of tourist attractiveness. What is important for businesses to consider when working with such territories?
  • Development opportunities near national parks, nature reserves, and reservoirs
  • Features and investment attractiveness of the development of eco-resorts, glamping, and hotel complexes. Examples of successful investment projects.
  • Assessment of the demand for eco-tourism? Which niches are already in demand, and where are there new niches?
  • The possibilities of the "Land for Tourism" project to attract investors
