An annual business forum held in Saint Petersburg with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Federal Agency "Rossotrudnichestvo", and the Government of Saint Petersburg.
The purpose of the Forum is to promote the integration of positive international experience, local implementation of state tasks, development of social and economic well-being of municipal territories, introduction of information, digital and innovative technologies in the daily activities of major cities in developing countries.
The decision to create the Forum was made at the BRICS Ministerial Summit held in July 2018 in the Republic of South Africa. A regional delegation from Saint Petersburg, headed by Mikhail Cherepanov, put forward a proposal to create a global information and communication platform for the municipalities of the BRICS countries. This proposal was supported by the Summit participants.
Deputy Director Danil Mareev took part in the session “Public Spaces: Design by People for People,” where he spoke about integrated approaches to the development of public spaces using the example of the Institute’s projects. The rich experience in the development and approval of urban planning documentation, as well as in the urban development of new cities, allows to say that NII PG integrates the best practices and takes a comprehensive approach to each project, always taking into account public opinion.
