Yuri Trutnev held a meeting on the implementation of long-term plans for the integrated development of cities in the Amur Region
Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev held a meeting on the implementation of long-term plans for the integrated development of cities in the Amur Region.
“In accordance with the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, a large-scale program for the renovation of cities has begun in the Far East and the Arctic. Our task is to make them as comfortable as possible for people to live in. This is a big job with a large amount of necessary funding. I repeat once again: it has been mobilized throughout the Far East and the Arctic. We will constantly keep it under control. Today we will hear how the work is going in the Amur Region,” Yuri Trutnev opened the meeting.
“In the Amur Region, long-term comprehensive plans have been approved for four cities – Blagoveshchensk, Tynda, Svobodny and Belogorsk, a draft master plan has been developed for the closed administrative-territorial entity Tsiolkovsky, and a general plan for the agglomeration of Svobodny and Tsiolkovsky is at an advanced stage of readiness. Key projects are already being implemented in each of them. A regional headquarters has been created. It includes the regional government, heads of municipalities, and representatives of development institutions. The headquarters meets weekly. Work is ongoing in the project management information system under the supervision of the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East and the Far East Development Committee,” said Vasily Orlov, Governor of the Amur Region.
A number of master plan objects will be built using funding from a single presidential subsidy provided by the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East and special treasury loans.
The Blagoveshchensk master plan includes 54 events for the development of municipal, social, transport and tourism infrastructure. The master plan includes such key events as the construction of the Blagoveshchensk-Heihe cross-border cableway, the modernization of the Blagoveshchensk International Airport (Ignatievo), the construction of the large city center “Tribuna Hall”, the construction of a regional blood transfusion station and a children’s art school, the creation of an international university campus and many others.
In the first year of implementing the long-term plan for comprehensive socio-economic development, several areas became central for the city. Among them are the creation of spaces for comfortable living, self-realization and education of citizens, platforms for Russian-Chinese business cooperation and other projects. In total, 13 events are being implemented this year, six of which will be completed by the end of the year.
One of the tasks included in the Blagoveshchensk master plan was to unite the city with a system of green spaces. Citizens will get a new park – Lomonosovsky. The second space, where work started in 2024, was the Valery Priyomykhov Square. The famous actor, film director and screenwriter was born in the Amur Region. The area adjacent to the site of the installation of the bust of Valery Mikhailovich will be landscaped in a cinema theme. The Katushka cafe, an open-air cinema, and the Montazhnaya coworking area will open in the square. The entire facility will be completed by October 2025. Along with the square, part of 50 Let Oktyabrya Street will be landscaped. It will connect the Priyomykhov Square with another public space – the Babochka Square.
A major renovation of the city park of culture and recreation is planned in Blagoveshchensk. The concept of the park has already been formed, the territory will be divided into two parts. The first is a green zone with places for quiet rest, themed areas and equipment for children of different ages. The second zone will be an area with attractions and catering points. The concept formed the basis of the technical specifications for the design and estimate documentation, which will be developed by the end of 2024.
Within the framework of the master plan, a large project of comprehensive reconstruction of the infrastructure of the Blagoveshchensk International Airport is being implemented. Work on the creation of the city center “Tribuna Hall” has reached the final stage. The complex is conceived as a space with a landscape park and a cultural center with an observation deck. Improvement of courtyard areas is underway.
The master plan for Belogorsk in Amur positions the city as an industrial and logistics center with a developed service economy. At the request of residents, the strategy emphasizes the development of social and transport infrastructure, renovation of microdistricts, modernization of the city center and the coastal area. The construction of a water supply system from water intake wells to the Yuzhny microdistrict and the overhaul of the children’s art school have been completed. The construction of a gas boiler house and a supply gas pipeline, which started in 2022, is in the final stage. Design and estimate documentation is being developed for two important projects – the creation of treatment facilities in the Transportny district of the city and the construction of a central water intake. Work has begun on the construction of a sports and recreation complex with a skating rink in the Yuzhny microdistrict.
The development plan for the BAM capital Tynda includes 34 events. Within the framework of the master plan, 12 events have already been completed, the key ones being the overhaul of the Tynda Central Library, the reconstruction of the BAM History Museum, the renovation of the drama theater, as well as the renovation and illumination of the facades of city buildings, the improvement of 13 courtyard areas and the Bagulnik Park.
According to the master plan, several areas have become priorities for the city: gasification, repair of social facilities, improvement of transport infrastructure and other projects. The city is reconstructing and modernizing heat supply facilities with the replacement of other types of fuel with natural gas. According to the plan, three new gas boiler houses will be built in Tynda; contracts for the preparation of documentation for them have already been concluded. In addition, the central boiler house of the city awaits reconstruction with the transfer to gas. The capital repairs of the city cultural center “Rus” and the public bathhouse are nearing completion. The street and road network is being brought up to standard and 32 new bus stops are being installed.
Within the framework of the master plan of the city of Svobodny, 22 events will be implemented. By 2030, the city will become the center of the gas chemical cluster with a high level of urban environment and services. This year, work has begun on five events, two of which should be completed by the end of the year.
The renovation of Svobodny is connected with the renewal of social infrastructure. In the Yuzhny microdistrict, a school for 528 children is being prepared for construction. The design and estimate documentation for the facility is already ready. In the Mikhailo-Chesnokovsky microdistrict, a building of a physical education and health complex with a universal games hall is being built. The development of design documentation for a children’s art school for 650 children in the Central District has begun. The construction of a new registry office building has been completed; its official opening took place in October. The improvement of the urban environment is underway. In November 2024, the improvement of the city park on Upravlencheskaya Street will be completed. The construction of a new Alekseevsky microdistrict for employees of the Amur Gas Processing Plant continues. In addition to residential buildings, communal and social infrastructure facilities are being built in the microdistrict: a school, a kindergarten, a clinic, a department store, a sports complex, a cultural and leisure center, an apart-hotel, multi-level parking lots, and engineering infrastructure facilities. In September of this year, a school for 900 students opened in the Alekseevsky microdistrict.
An important point in the development of Svobodny is improving the quality of the city’s engineering infrastructure. A large amount of work is being carried out within the framework of this area of the master plan. At the moment, design and estimate documentation is being developed for the reconstruction of treatment facilities in the Dubovsky, Surazhevsky and Zalineyny microdistricts, as well as the reconstruction of the main engineering networks of heat, water supply and sanitation.
