43 business hubs with the total area of over 2 million square meters will have been put up in Yekaterinburg by 2015, the spokesperson for the city council reports. This is part of the Business Hubs Program adopted by the city council and targeted at turning Yekaterinburg into a competitive business estate market that would meet all the international standards. The council thus aims to redistribute the existing demand in favor of better quality offices, have the old office buildings replaced with new ones, improve on the office management and building maintenance practices, and develop the principles of classifying various types of business centers. The program is still being improved upon; the final version is expected to be discussed by the Program Council under the Mayor of Yekaterinburg.
