Dear Readers!

The investment and construction sector of Russia represents a continuously evolving spatial, technical, organizational, economic, and social system. It comprises interconnected structural elements, including mechanisms for integrated territorial development, a set of construction enterprises and utility providers, as well as the population residing within the given territory.

The primary objective of integrated territorial development is to ensure balanced and sustainable development of settlements, municipal districts, and urban areas by improving the quality of the urban environment and enhancing the visual appearance, architectural style, and other characteristics of capital construction facilities.

A key prerequisite for the effective management of sustainable integrated territorial development is the implementation of a comprehensive program for the territorial and reproductive development of the real estate sector. The presence of such programs enables effective integration across all elements of the overall cause-and-effect chain: “territories →resources → reproduction → development.” It is within this conceptual framework that the articles in this issue of the journal are presented.

Sincerely, Peter Grabovyy
