Integrated territorial development projects (ITD) continue to be implemented in Russian regions. These projects involve the construction of modern housing, along with the creation of social, transport, and utility infrastructure, according to Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
"The main objective of the 'Infrastructure for Life' national project is to improve living conditions for citizens. Since its launch in 2021, the integrated territorial development mechanism has become an important tool for the regions to transform their communities. More and more constituent entities of the Russian Federation are actively joining this program. Thanks to it, new residential areas with the necessary infrastructure are emerging across the country, helping to create a more comfortable and modern living environment. To date, 3.6 million square meters of real estate, including over 3 million square meters of housing, have been commissioned under integrated territorial development projects. In total, nearly 1,300 integrated territorial development projects are in the active implementation phase in 81 regions, covering an area of 26,900 hectares," noted Marat Khusnullin.
The Deputy Prime Minister added that the urban development potential of KRT projects in the active implementation phase amounts to 204 million square meters of real estate, including 153.4 million square meters of housing.
In addition to implementing the decisions already made regarding the CRT, new projects are being actively selected. Currently, 1,877 sites with a total area of 42,200 hectares are being developed. These projects have a development potential of 307 million square meters, of which 230.5 million square meters is residential.
At the President's direction, KRT projects received federal funding for the first time last year. The program covers 37 regions. These include regions with low budgetary capacity, as well as regions for which individual socioeconomic development programs are being developed.
"Funding is provided if the KRT projects, along with the construction of residential buildings, include the construction or renovation of social, transport, or utility infrastructure. Thanks to subsidies, by the end of 2025, five projects were completed, and construction began on nine more kindergartens, five schools, six roads, and ten utility network facilities. In total, 700,000 square meters of housing have already been commissioned as part of these KRT projects," said Alexander Lomakin, First Deputy Minister of Construction, Housing, and Utilities of the Russian Federation.
Another important social task that integrated territorial development addresses is the resettlement of uninhabitable buildings.
"The Territorial Development Fund, as the operator of the program for resettling people from dilapidated housing, partially reimburses the regions and developers for these purposes under KRT projects. Currently, resettlement of uninhabitable housing stock under KRT residential development projects is underway in 32 regions. Thanks to this, approximately 373,600 square meters of dilapidated and hazardous housing have been resettled, and approximately 20,500 people have been able to improve their living conditions, and this work continues," emphasized Vasily Kupyzin, CEO of the Territorial Development Fund.
