UrBC, Yekaterinburg, April 1, 2020. Mayor of Yekaterinburg Alexander Vysokinsky called for the development of the city’s general construction plan for 2021-2041, the town council’s press service reports.

Following the public hearings on the general construction plan, the authorities decided to shift the strategic planning timeframe from 2035 to 2041 and to keep working on a revised version of the plan. City planners, architects, investors, and members of the general public will all contribute to the discussion on the project, which is meant to be a product of social consensus and to account for the locals’ needs and interests.

‘The town council and our General Construction Plan Workshop Municipal Budgetary Institution will present Yekaterinburg’s general construction plan for 2021-2041 to the professional community.
