The moderator and author of the forum session ‘NAGLomeration is coming. By love or forced choice?’ will be moderated by Elena Stryukova, MRICS, CPM, Managing Partner of Perfect RED Plenipotentiary Rep

During the session we will discuss the situation typical for the majority of regions: trends and problems faced by urban planners, developers and residents using the example of Kazan agglomeration. We will consider the agglomeration's development plans and find out what developers and district heads think about them. Is the purchase of housing outside the city dictated by the desire to save money or is it a conscious choice of location with proximity to nature. What problems are faced by all market participants: city planners, developers, heads of districts, residents. What kind of agglomeration development is envisaged by the masterplan. Whether developers want to develop these territories, whether the heads of districts are interested in it.

How approaches to the development of territories have changed. How to create polycentres. What is primary: infrastructure or housing. Whether developers will ‘pull’ the infrastructure, whether infrastructure fees will help. Necessary and sufficient composition of social and commercial infrastructure for projects in agglomerations.

Pendular migration - fighting or facilitating it. Successful examples of creating places of labour application in agglomerations.How to attract a buyer in the existing conditions. Buying in agglomerations - a forced measure or a conscious choice.

Urbanisation or Ruralisation - what wins. Best practice review.
