What should be the new cities in Siberia

24

Information appeared in the domestic press that the forgotten Soviet project of the city of Elektrograd in the Minusinsk Basin could be revived as part of the town-planning initiative of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation. Abstract ideas and good wishes are beginning to take on quite concrete forms, so let's add our own "five kopecks" to them.

First of all, I would like to explain why we support Sergei Kuzhugetovich's proposals so warmly. The fact is that this is the first global and positive project for the internal development of Russia. How many years have we written with bitterness and lamented that petrodollars are continuously withdrawn from our country, stimulating the economy our direct competitors, if not enemies. How many times have we expressed fears that as a result of the creeping expansion of immigrants from the PRC, Russia may actually lose territory beyond the Urals. And now, finally, a sensible initiative was announced aimed at the development of Siberia and the Far East. And we are not talking about the construction of some next pipeline through which oil and gas will go to China or Europe, but about the project of new cities for ourselves, for the Russians. Well, how can we not support this initiative of the Minister of Defense?



Let's try to look a little into the future. The future, its image, is something that is so lacking in modern Russia. We have neither ideology, nor any kind of super-task to which the state and society should strive. We just go with the flow, and our neighbors in the CIS are scattering to the sides. But this urban planning initiative of Defense Minister Shoigu is a chance to shape the image of Russia of the future, to prove to everyone that we can put things in order at home and become a new center of unification. We can build new cities, incorporating in them the best of what has already been invented and created by others, and then they will become the prototype of the gradual renewal of our country.

But how to make Electrograd desirable for Russians? After all, it is not easy to motivate a person to move from their native places to a completely uninhabited city. The main condition, as it seems to us, should be the fundamental difference between Electrograd and all other settlements in Russia, including Moscow and St. Petersburg. A new city in Siberia should include all the best that has been created by man today. It is by becoming a "dream city" that it will be able to attract hundreds of thousands of Russians, and Technology and the solutions that will be applied and worked out during its construction, in the future can be extended to other cities of our country.

Smart cities


The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into the urban environment is one of the most demanded global trends. The goal of a smart city is to improve the quality of life of its population by increasing efficiency in literally everything. Connected in a single information network, hospitals, schools, libraries, law enforcement agencies, power plants, utilities and other services will allow consumers to rationalize their financial costs and spending of time, this invaluable resource. By automating public services, the number of bureaucrats can be drastically reduced, possibly multiple. Life will be easier, faster and safer.

Not the last important decision here will be the introduction of unmanned vehicles, both railway (trams and metro) and wheeled (regular buses and taxis), as well as full coverage of the settlement with 5G and 6G communications.

"Green cities"


Currently, the global struggle for the environment is dictating new standards. We can make new cities with a minimum carbon footprint. Public transport must be made electric, and owners of electric vehicles must be completely exempted from the transport tax.

It is possible and necessary to build entire areas initially pedestrian, free of cars. Instead, create a whole network of bicycle and electric scooter paths. A green park should be laid out in the center of each new district. Energy-efficient residential buildings should be built no higher than five floors, and high-rise buildings and skyscrapers can only be left in a business center.

It will also be necessary to introduce technologies for the treatment and reuse of effluents.

Sustainable cities


When building new cities, it is possible and necessary to take into account the chronic diseases of Russian megalopolises. Who is not tired of the fact that every summer they turn off the hot water in order to master funds for the "repair" of heating networks? In Germany, for example, there are no annual cutoffs in water supply at all. Nothing prevents you from laying pipes once, which will serve for more than a dozen years; to lay asphalt, which even in Siberian realities will not have to be changed for 15-20 years. And such technologies we have... Russia is quite capable of bringing the quality of urban infrastructure to a completely different level, which today is inaccessible even to Western countries.

Of course, the implementation of all these plans requires competent and honest managers. At the same time, the introduction of an electronic construction management system, and subsequently the city itself, will ensure the rational use of budget funds, as well as protect private investments.

The new city, if it is as we described above, will undoubtedly improve the international image of our country, become a new chapter in its history, and also launch a large-scale program to improve the quality of life in Russia.

    The idea is good. But so far, unfortunately, everything that happens is more reminiscent of New Vasyuki, and not a real project. And cities are really needed.

    Shouldn't. Maybe he can't.

    And on the internet, officials let slip about the upcoming transformation of Vladivostok into such a millionaire city.
    Following the example of Moscow, a part of the region will be attached to it and a district will be added in the middle.

    Inexpensive, angry, million!

      You cannot please. They themselves wrote that it was necessary to develop already existing cities. So they will turn Vladivostok into a millionaire. Budgetary but effective. They will build from scratch in Siberia. Quite a sensible approach

            - neutral indefinitely. this is to the description of the situation in the article.

            The transformation of Vladivostok

            - neutral in the affirmative.
            It seems that there is a solution, but what will be - it will be clear later.

            Inexpensive, angry, million!

            - neutral confirmatory. A millionaire for a small price.

            People just got used to either swearing or "approving"

    in European cities, there is a rapid construction of computing centers that can be used by clients from all over the world. The IT direction could become that magnet for the new city, which would facilitate the arrival of young families of IT specialists. This requires a network infrastructure with a powerful traffic node, as well as data centers and other magnets of this plan. By the way, this can push global giants like Google, etc. to invest in this city, if the city itself is also not an ordinary one, but a prologue of the future. It is necessary to start with architecture, as a visual impulse that will show the direction of the city's development.

    The new city should not be:
    With a transport system like in Krasnodar,
    Catering, as in Chelyabinsk,
    With a mess, like in winter Barnaul,
    Uncomfortable like Chrysostom,
    Boring like Naberezhnye Chelny
    As gray as Perm (though it is changing rapidly),
    Greedy like Almaty
    Waterless like Novorossiysk
    Unemployed like Maykop.
    And people will flow to a comfortable city with a developed infrastructure and jobs. If there are also universities with distribution among the enterprises of the city, then young people will rush to such a city.

    By the way, everything is fine with catering in Chelyabinsk.

    personally visited 6 cafes and 4 restaurants. Only two places did I like it. On the street Sonya Krivoy and Gorki. Cheburechnaya with chebureks in 30cm is also nothing. Especially the interior - it blows the roof off from dissonance.
    Although, yes! There is no catering worse than in Elista.

      If you are with us, take a look at the chain of cafes "Bio Farm". (This is not an advertisement.) Delicious homemade food for the right price. Pancakes with meat, for example, are cooked there no worse than my mother (and she cooks very well).
      One of these eateries in the center is next to Mac, KFS, Burger King, etc. fast food, so all their workers go to Bio Farm to feed. smile The network has become very popular, many points have been opened.
      P.S. and "nausea" is anywhere. It is not necessary to cook badly and save on quality products.

      Yes, I also forgot to mention the Patriot culinary chain, which operates in the same segment as Bio Farm, but appeared much earlier. Delicious homemade food for the right price. So everyone is eating there, everyone has already had their fill of American fast foods, this is now more of a place for young people to hang out.

    In a scam! They will divorce Putin by 20 lards - I give a grudge! But you, Vladimir Vladimirovich, do not tremble - you hit them in the face, but in the face (better with your feet)!

    I wonder how long before Shoigu plans to see the blossoming flower of a new city, at least one?
    Well, let’s even say, by the Highest order for a mind-boggling price, they erected a stone flower somewhere in several hundred blocks, built several dozen enterprises with jobs for its residents.
    Now try to bring it all to life.
    Forgive me, but I do not believe that this miracle worthy of Frankenstein can be performed by our indifferent, hands-on officials.
    The experience of Russian reality stubbornly repeats the opposite

        Well no. It could be worse. They will bury all 20 lards in the ground, add another 100 to them, and they can build. There will be a problem with the revitalization of all this. After all, so far with cities and villages, they have been good at the opposite.

    Where are the old ones? Cities that. Or moving? Which, as you know, is equal to two fires ... Oh, and the entertainers, the main-commanding ones. Not a day without a fixed idea on the eve of the elections. They would have ended sooner, I suppose. These elections. Otherwise, it’s not even an hour - they will go into a rage - and they will poke up the floor of Siberia. Putintians simply gush out. Ideas. And all as a selection - moronic.

    ... "Dancing from the stove" - ​​start with housing. Usage-based technology 3D printers may become one of the key for low-rise housing construction for several families. Bfast, high quality and cheap... Build in breadth, not up. This is quite suitable for large areas where there is an opportunity to turn around. Construction of housing far from sources of environmental pollution will lead to the development of fast transport, a move away from centralized heating, etc. more functions (capabilities) in the field. A correct idea usually contains the potential for further development ...
