In 2025, approximately 40 industrial and production facilities were built in the capital. These include research and production complexes, factories, a technology park, a shipyard, water treatment facilities, and other enterprises. Industrial sites have been established in eight districts of the city. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction. Vladimir Efimov.

"The volume of industrial construction in Moscow remains high. In 2025, approximately 40 industrial and production facilities were built, with a total area of over 410,000 square meters. Most of these structures were built by investors—more than 30 buildings, totaling almost 268,000 square meters. By comparison, in 2024, only 20 such facilities were built, using both city and extra-budgetary funds," said Vladimir Efimov.

The construction of new industrial enterprises was made possible by the city's support, particularly through the implementation of a program to stimulate the creation of employment opportunities and large-scale investment projects, as well as the conditions offered to its residents by the Technopolis Moscow special economic zone.

"Following Sergei Sobyanin's instructions, comprehensive work is underway in the capital to develop a modern industrial infrastructure. The main objective is to ensure conditions for the dynamic development of the manufacturing sector, the accelerated implementation of new technologies, and the further strengthening of the city's investment attractiveness. By 2030, the volume of such space will more than double—from 12 to 25 million square meters. This will create an additional impetus for economic growth and the emergence of new business opportunities," emphasized the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.

According to the Moscow Government Minister and Head of the Department of Urban Development Policy Vladislav OvchinskyIn 2025, a four-story technology park for food production, covering over 10,000 square meters, was built with extra-budgetary funding on Ryabinovaya Street in the Ochakovo-Matveyevskoye district, next to the Ochakovo plant. The building includes specialized infrastructure for small and medium-sized businesses and food research laboratories. It houses production facilities with integrated administrative and amenity blocks, retail outlets, and a café.

Committee for State Construction Supervision of the City of Moscow commissioned the facilities after its specialists had supervised their construction at all stages.

Chairman of the department Anton Slobodchikov He emphasized that, in total, committee inspectors conducted over 200 on-site inspections at construction sites across the capital. Employees of the Center for Expertise, Research, and Testing in Construction also participated in these inspections. They conducted a range of laboratory and instrumental tests to assess the quality of work and materials in accordance with approved design specifications. This ensures the safety and reliability of buildings after completion.

Since 2011, more than 320 new production facilities have opened in the capital, with a total area of approximately three million square meters.

The Peresvetov Lane Gallery will host a screening of "Andriesh," Sergei Parajanov's first nearly full-length feature film, co-created with Yakov Bazelyan. The screening is part of the Maslenitsa program.

The film continues the theme of the director's thesis, "Moldavian Fairytale," based on the work of the same name by writer and poet Emilian Bukov. In his early short film, Parajanov combined props with real-life actors. Several years later, on the advice of Alexander Dovzhenko, he revisited the story of Andriesh, this time using live acting.

The 63-minute film marked the director's first step in developing the artistic language and aesthetics that would later define his signature style.

The capital's renovation program is already more than a quarter complete. This was reported on its channel in MAX messenger Sergei Sobyanin said.

"IN

new apartments "About 258,000 Muscovites have moved in or are moving in. They have received not only comfortable housing but also a next-level urban environment right next to their homes," noted Sergei Sobyanin.

Under the housing renovation program approved on August 1, 2017, approximately one million Muscovites will move into new apartments. The renovation districts will create a new level of urban environment: balanced, open, comfortable, and attractive.

The renovation program includes 5,176 buildings—approximately 350,000 apartments with a total floor area of 16.4 million square meters. By the end of 2025, the renovation program will be more than 25 percent complete.

Sobyanin congratulated the 250,000th participant in the renovation program on their housewarming.

Since 2018, 7.9 million square meters of housing have been commissioned to implement the program's goals, allowing for the relocation of approximately 1,600 older buildings. By 2025, approximately 2.3 million square meters of housing will have been built—a record volume for the program's implementation.

The Moscow Housing Renovation Fund has become the leader in housing construction in Russia.

In addition, in 2025, advanced construction technologies were actively introduced to accelerate the commissioning and improve the quality of housing built under the renovation program.

“So, in Cheryomushki, for the first time, a residential building was built from

large modules "In just 6.5 months. This is an absolute record for the construction of similar buildings," added Sergei Sobyanin.

The production of blocks was mastered by the new robotic plant of the MonArch Group of Companies, located in the Vnukovo district (Novomoskovsky Administrative District).

In 12 districts of Moscow (Ramenki, Severny, Molzhaninovsky, Kommunarka, Stary Kryukov, Yuzhny and Severny Medvedkovo, Yasenevo, Lianozovo, Novo-Peredelkino, Yuzhny and Severny Butovo) the current renovation program has been fully completed.

Plans for 2026 include commissioning 2.5 million square meters of housing, which will allow for the relocation of approximately 60,000 more people.

In total, approximately 11 million square meters of real estate are at various stages of design and construction, which will allow for the highest possible rate of relocation of residents of buildings included in the renovation program in the coming years and the completion of the program by 2032. The program is being implemented according to the schedule approved in 2017. Commitments to residents are being fulfilled ahead of schedule.

When moving, city residents are assisted at information centers where representatives work Department of City Property, the Moscow Renovation Fund, the prefecture, the management company, the general contractor and other departments.

The International Congress of Public Administration has opened at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA). From February 10 to 13, it will serve as a hub for developing best practices that will improve the quality of public administration. Sergei Sobyanin participated in the plenary session of the congress, "Public Administration in the 21st Century: Between Speed and Meaning."

The congress is dedicated to six key public administration topics: civil service, digitalization, regional experience, business support, a people-centered government, and strategic priority management. Participants will discuss systemic reforms and specific operational models that have already proven effective.

The Moscow Mayor shared his experience implementing reforms in Moscow. The development model that existed in the early 2000s had become ineffective and was holding back the city's development.

"The changes needed at that time were long overdue; no matter what anyone said, everyone understood they were overdue. How to do it, and at what speed, is another matter. We were so far behind at the time in transportation, healthcare, and public spaces that we didn't have the time to do what Europe had accomplished over the previous 40 years. We needed to do it in literally five to ten years, so, of course, the speed of change and the rigor of our decisions were simply dictated by objective necessity: either we would lag behind and become some third-rate city, or we would become a leader and set an example for other global cities," Sergei Sobyanin emphasized.

According to the Moscow Mayor, all changes being implemented are for Muscovites. And the understanding of these processes, experience, and character of the managers dictate the speed and quality of the transformations. The most important thing is the confidence that the city and its residents will ultimately benefit.

The speed of reform implementation is a result of the freedom and responsibility given to the city administration. If there's a focus on results, not process, a team is assembled that is also focused on those results.

"People expect their sewage system to work properly, their apartments to be warm and bright, their entryway to be clean, their courtyard to be landscaped, public transportation to run regularly, hospitals and clinics to treat them like humans rather than artificial intelligence, and so on and so forth. After all, basic needs and aspirations don't change over time. These are the same needs as ordinary citizens, city dwellers, and that's what they expect from the government," Sergei Sobyanin noted.

 

The city that surrounds a resident is an extension of their personal space and comfort. People's needs change, and we must strive to reach new levels, because any standstill is a degradation. The well-being of the country depends on the city's development.

According to the Moscow Mayor, officials must meet the needs of their residents and be a hero every day of their service. A high-level manager must understand the strategy and be committed to implementing it. They must be willing to work, unafraid of conflict, and a fighter. If such people enter public service, they must be helped to become true leaders.
