The Moscow government has launched a series of demonstration days to show best practices in urban infrastructure development that can be implemented in other regions of Russia. Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry, announced the initiative.
The first event was dedicated to advanced solutions in the field of transport. Participants were presented with the best practices for the development of the city’s transport system, as well as innovative digital services for drivers and passengers.
On the instructions of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, the capital is ready to share its successful practices and cooperate with the regions to improve the quality of life of city residents. This is in line with the goals set by the President and the Government of the Russian Federation. Today’s event is the result of extensive joint work by the Moscow Government and the Agency for Strategic Initiatives. Over the past few months, we have studied and assessed socially significant urban practices that may be useful to other regions, and selected the best of them, noted Maxim Liksutov.
Experts from the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI) assessed practices in Moscow and other regions to determine their feasibility and applicability in areas with different population sizes. Using a comprehensive approach, specialists identified the most promising solutions for implementation in the regions.
It is important that the regions have the opportunity to see transport infrastructure facilities and effective solutions with their own eyes. Today, they were able to evaluate Moscow solutions that help the capital remain a leader in digitalization and approaches to the development of the transport system, as well as other practices supported by the Agency and presented at Smartek. Some of these practices are completely free and can be easily implemented in the regions, since they do not require investments in new infrastructure or information systems. They can really take advantage of the huge resources that the authors of the project are ready to provide to other regions and cities. To help the regions understand the effect of the implemented transport solutions, the Agency will develop a corresponding methodology. This document will allow them to see the degree of influence of the practices on the indicators of the national project, – shared Svetlana Chupsheva, General Director of ASI.
Regions will gain access to more than 70 practices in the fields of transport, industry, tourism, culture, healthcare, ecology, education, investment and business development, and social support.
Moscow, as a center for the development of high-tech industries, is implementing more than 20 citywide measures to support industry and is already disseminating positive experience to the regions, including through the conclusion of interregional offset contracts. As part of a specialized demo day, we will share with colleagues the most successful practices of localizing innovative technical and commercial enterprises. The creation of high-tech, knowledge-intensive industries in the regions is, first of all, strengthening the technological sovereignty of the country, developing its scientific and technical potential and, of course, increasing wages and improving the quality of life of people, said Anatoly Garbuzov, Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Department of Investment and Industrial Policy.
The Moscow government is actively replicating successful solutions to increase investment activity and economic attractiveness of regions.
Thus, within the framework of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum 2024, the Government of Moscow and the Ministry of Economic Development signed an agreement on the creation of a single investment portal of the Russian Federation. The basis for joint development will be the investment portal of the Government of Moscow. In February 2024, the first joint digital product was launched – the Investment Map of the Russian Federation.
