The capital’s authorities consider an important achievement in the city’s development process to be the reduction of economic losses caused by inclement weather (heat, flooding and heavy rain) through the construction and modernization of existing infrastructure. “Sewage systems and ventilation and air conditioning systems are being installed in houses and social facilities,” said Moscow Government Minister, Head of the Department of Economic Policy and Urban Development, Maria Bagreeva. According to her, a striking example of how to reduce these negative impacts is the renovation of the housing stock within the framework of the renovation program.
The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants into the atmosphere also guarantees the development of new modes of transport. In four years of operation of electric buses, CO2 emissions have been reduced by 60 thousand tons. Developers are also striving to create smart projects that will continue to improve the face of the city. Deputy General Director and Head of the Power Supply Department of Rublevo-Arkhangelskoye JSC Ilya Pulner spoke about the construction of a new Moscow district, which will appear in the west in 2032. The development area on the banks of the Moscow River will reach the 461 hectares. Almost 65 thousand citizens will be able to live in 12-story buildings. “Modern energy modeling technologies will reduce electricity consumption by up to 34%, heat consumption by up to 38% and gas consumption by up to 35%. The smart home system in each apartment will help residents choose a temperature comfortable, control the lighting of the rooms and appliances. Instead of a boiler room there will be an energy center and “garbage dumps will be replaced by an automated vacuum waste disposal system. In just a few minutes, the trash will be delivered through underground pipes to a sealed container. There it will be compressed and its volume reduced almost 20 times, eliminating unpleasant odors,” he stated.
