We absolutely cannot get enough quality architecture in our secondary towns. We all know that whilst we have some beautiful cities and towns, we generally have a built environment deficit in Russia. There are some nice projects happening, and the budget does need to be managed to avoid the economic disaster of the west, where life improvements came on the state credit card, until they couldn't pay anymore. However, for prosperity to be felt and touched in Russia in every day life, necessitates a beautiful built environment. Architects are the essential ingredient in the creation of such an environment in Russia, to build a built echosystem that provides for comfortable sustainable living in harmony with our wider bueatiful nature. People have waited many years for their living accomodation and everyday streets to be transformed, this has hapepned to large exent in the big cities, but is far far further behind in the secodary cities and towns. We neeed to deliver more quickly on big improvements in the everyday architecture of Russia based on sound financial management. Otherwise people will become tired, that they cannot see and touch the wealth that is here, for themselves. Re-building if done properly can add to the growth in the economy, indeed Russia almost has a 'post war' type opportunity to build a fantastic built environment. So lets do architecture and beauty, underpinned by financial and environmental sustainability, and lets do it faster than we are, with communication of vission, timing and the problems and limitations to our citizens, so they get reasonable postive expectations, which are backed up by delivery. We have navigated the crisis since 1990s by sound evasive manouvers, we have developed vission and ideas, now it is necessary to make sure those ideas include architecture, beauty and sustainability and deploy them to our people. We must deliver on prosperity, both in the pocket and in the eye. Things must be seen to be done!
