Classification of programs for renewal of the urban housing stock

Abstract

The paper considers the problem of classification of programs and projects for the development of housing stock. The classification of projects for the improvement of residential development and comprehensive renovation of entire urban areas is given. The study considers the concepts of “renovation of residential development”, “redevelopment of industrial zones of the city”, “revitalization of urban areas” in accordance with Western and Russian methodologies. The main reasons for the renovation and growth of the housing stock in Russia and abroad are indicated, the relationship between the format of the residential development improvement program and the form of housing stock renewal is analyzed. The research of the conditions of providing new housing under the Moscow renovation program is carried out, discussion issues on compliance with the provisions of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on the process of formation of the main points of the contract of exchange (exchange) of an old apartment for a new one are noted. The author notes that the most important problem in the implementation of programs for the renewal of residential development is the search for sources of financing of capital investments. Depending on the sources of financing of the program (project) it is proposed to classify them into social, partially social or commercial. The paper formulates a conclusion about the development of a national program of renovation or redevelopment of urban residential development (areas built up with panel houses and ­other dilapidated and emergency houses built before 1975) in all regions of the country for the period 2026–2040 at the expense of federal and regional budgets. Each region will decide on the terms of resettlement of the population and provision of housing under the exchange agreement independently. It is also up to the discretion of the region to provide benefits to certain categories of citizens to be resettled, to determine the density of new residential buildings, comfort class and energy efficiency of new residential buildings.
