Additional efforts focus on drawing in young people through the development of creative industries, including the construction of creative clusters, the opening of branches of creative universities, and the launch of a Cinema Foundation contest.At the same time, work is underway in 25 Far Eastern cities to implement master plans. The project covers more than 4 million residents of the district and is expected to transform the urban economy.
