Thanks to the joint efforts of the government, professional market participants, the Bank of Russia, and legislators, the residential property finance market has reached a state of conditional equilibrium. However, market realities do not remain static, and life has proven to be more complex than it initially appeared. New conditions necessitate fresh solutions. Banks and financial corporations specializing in financing the residential property market exhibit flexibility in responding to these changes. There are still numerous issues awaiting discussion and resolution. We engage in important profile discussions of an applied nature with leading professionals in the property market, presented in a lively discussion format. We tackle controversial topics and engage in "no-nonsense" conversations. Issues such as bridges, infrastructure development, reserves, and tax matters, all of which are pertinent today, are thoroughly examined during the Urban Hub session.

Amid sanctions, budget sequestration for infrastructure projects, and an increase in the key interest rate, both state authorities and developers are searching for the best model of housing construction and urban renewal, while property buyers are investing with an ever-more-expensive ruble.
And, they discover Integrated Territorial Development (ITD). Integrated development is not a new concept, but after the adoption of the Law on ITD, the impact of numerous projects can be likened to the 'Gold Rush' - tenders are announced every day in all regions of the country, and obligations to construct kindergartens, schools, roads, and manage the emergency fund have become commonplace.
Despite all the advantages, just like during the ‘Gold Rush’, regional developers have moved to Moscow, while major market players have gone to the regions. They surely realize where the gold mine is.
Open dialogue with builders, developers, banks, officials, and developers of master plans and socio-economic development programmes.
Who are we building for and how are we doing it? How is all of this supported by infrastructure?
What can be done to ensure that everyone involved with ITD gets enriched by this gold mine?

The majority of scientific, cultural, human, economic, and innovative potential is concentrated in the largest cities on our planet.
The key BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa), along with new members (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia), are at the forefront in terms of the number and size of megacities. How can cooperation between major cities worldwide further enhance multilateral economic, social, and cultural ties among the BRICS countries? What forms of mutually beneficial cooperation can the new generation of leaders from these countries propose?
