The Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East and Arctic, the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation and the Government of the Republic of Buryatia discussed key initiatives under the urban development master plans at the Fifth Meeting of the Investment Headquarters. According to the ministry’s press service the amount of investment totals 134,6 billion rubles.
Pursuant to the program of Ulan-Ude residents’ relocation from dilapidated dwellings the city has already purchased several residential buildings and some more are to be built anew. Permission has been obtained to build apartment buildings with 619, 225, and 386 flats. One of the buildings is expected to be commissioned by the end of 2027, while the other two are planned for the end of 2028.
Several settlements and two healthcare facilities in Ulan-Ude have been connected to the central heating network. The city will soon have a new central heating and power plant with steam boiler with 360 Gcal/h capacity and heating networks. Its second stage construction has already begun.
Two daycare centers designed for 175 and 300 children will appear in Ulan-Ude in the near future. The embankments along the Selenga and Uda rivers are being improved. Several central streets of the city will also be modernized.
In addition, the city is working on its roadmap on the current repairs of the Nizhneangarsk Airport in the republic’s Severo-Baikalsky District and construction of a terminal with the total area of 1595 sq m. Works are also underway at the buildings of the flight test station and the administrative and residential complex of the Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant.
“The projects that have been discussed today are of key importance for Buryatia. They refer to the area that makes life convenient and comfortable: housing construction, urban development, education, healthcare, and transport availability,” noted Grigory Smolyak, Director of the Department of Social Development at the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East and Arctic and Deputy Chairman of the Headquarters for Extrabudgetary Investments.
Members of the headquarters have outlined the systemic issues requiring additional preparations: the possibility to expand Buryatia’s advanced development territories with a view to attract more investors, include them in the preferential treatment programs and elaboration of new public-private partnership mechanisms.
