City scale

The developers will present the public a draft master plan for the development of Arkhangelsk
Today, held public hearings on the master development plan for the capital Pomorya. The discussion should get hot if not, then at least, busy: many positions seem document experts disputed.
Demographic situation in Arkhangelsk developers genplana - project organization «NizhegorodgrazhdanNIIproekt» - is a sober estimate: high population growth by 2025 is expected. In the capital Pomorya, estimated to be 350-360 thousand people live, little more than they do now. But the city must become more comfortable and cozy.
By making plans to achieve this? The first - expected to withdraw from the «point of building». Will explore new territory, for example, 6 th district. In this genplane «Square» recorded as «East». But if the developers call it a promising area of development, some experts wondered why the Arkhangelsk must evolve in the direction of the current city landfill.
Does not reject the idea of the development of left-bank part of the city. But because of the marshland soils there will erect low at home. This would reduce the funds spent on the foundation.
Overall, the city of Arkhangelsk will not vysotok: will be built mostly 9 - 12-storey building in which to resettle residents of dilapidated «derevyashek» and «hruschevok». But Frame-house in the city, apparently, will say «No». Let some of the region quite successfully mastering this technology, but still more economically advantageous to build a modernized panel homes. In «East» neighborhood, for example, plans to erect along sbolee expensive brick buildings. Genplan describes in detail where and at what technology will build.
Mass displacement of industrial zones is expected. As is now the largest enterprises will be located in the northern part of the city. In addition, the site of former industrial invited to create technology. For example, will use the area provided once under metanolovy plant. For the railway station for this purpose is scheduled to provide about 70 hectares.
Zone rest promised to make the island Krasnoflotsky. At the hearing experts, without doubt, ask questions about why, under the water park, cultural and recreational parks chosen this particular island territory, which is not very accessible to the transport point of view.
To city dwellers have been able to read the document and leave suggestions for developers genplana, in the municipality and city districts have organized the work of the halls. As told in the department of architecture and construction City Hall, people were very active. Most townspeople wondered what will their house and that the build number. Unfortunately, it was unable to do: all the same genplan introduces the division of the city into zones, specific targets set in it is not possible.
The proposed developers of strategic objectives (Arkhangelsk - the gateway to the Arctic, a cultural center, a university town) complaints from ordinary citizens are not aroused. The latter idea is reflected as follows: in the regional center to be built campus. The territory will have to «request» to the Primorsky region: in the capital Pomorya free five to seven hectares not.
What genplane are quite distant prospects, is controversial experts.
- Many of the projects until fork on the water to write. In particular, the creation of the Federal University of Arkhangelsk. All this suggests that the vision of the future of the city or the developers or the City Hall there - believes political Sergei Fedorov.
- Plan an ambitious, he is pushing the authorities to action-confident head of a consulting firm Elena Svatkova.
Requests to speak at a hearing filed several civil society organizations. They are going to address the environmental aspects genplana, the preservation of historical and cultural heritage.

From first-hand
Victor Pavlenko, the mayor Arkhangelsk:
- Genplan defines the architectural character and direction of the city. We initially synchronize the development genplana, a strategy the city until 2025, socio-economic development of Arkhangelsk. In principle, the developers complied with those orders, which were given. If the public hearing will be given new sound ideas, they would be taken into account.
Unfortunately, St. Petersburg Scientific Research Institute, which developed the previous paper, fell apart. Archives lost. A team of Nizhny Novgorod Institute, who won the contest, is a serious, professional expertise.
