Land-use planning will determine the placement of regional facilities and spatial connections, taking into account federal projects and development strategy.
A meeting was held at the Samara Region Government to discuss the development of a new version of the regional land-use planning. The discussion was attended by heads of regional ministries, representatives of municipalities, Irina Grishechkina, NII PG Chief Urban Planner, and Olga Druzina, Deputy Director for Urban Planning Economics. The meeting was chaired by Vitaly Shabalatov, Chairman of the Samara Region Government.

The document is being developed by NII PG jointly with the Ministry of Urban Development Policy of the Samara Region. The first stage of the work—a comprehensive analysis of the territory of the Samara Region—has already been completed.
Land-use planning scheme of Samara Region includes planning the placement of regional facilities in key areas. This primarily concerns transport infrastructure—rail, water, and air transport, as well as regional and inter-municipal roads. The document will also cover educational, healthcare, physical education and sports facilities, energy, and other areas.
The document also takes into account the provisions of the Strategy for Socioeconomic Development of the Samara Region through 2030.
"The scheme should serve as a link between the strategic priorities of the Samara Region and specific decisions on territorial development. Our goal is to create a holistic spatial model of the region in which the development of transport, social, and engineering infrastructure is linked to the economic potential of the territories, environmental constraints, and growth prospects. This approach will allow us to move from individual projects to the systematic and balanced development of the region," noted Pavel Spirin, NII PG Director, Academician of the Russian Academy of Architecture and Construction Sciences.
During the meeting, Chairman of the Samara Region Government Vitaly Shabalatov emphasized the document's long-term significance for the regional government.
