[00:00:00] of Europe, then Yevgeny Zolotov became second, and Tatyana Klimovich
[00:00:04] and Elena Furman took gold.
[00:00:07] Preserving folk traditions is one of the features of Belarusian
[00:00:10] culture, as well as rituals, natural monuments. Today is
[00:00:14] Honey Savior, believers bless the harvest of their apiaries
[00:00:18] strive to their roots. Crowded, it is on this day
[00:00:21] on the Blue Krinitsa, in Slavgorod district. There is
[00:00:25] a belief that the water here is healing. Today, a
[00:00:28] cross service was held on the spot.
[00:00:48] arrived from Vitebsk, specifically came here to the Blue
[00:00:51] Krinitsa, when you enter the Krinitsa, it simply
[00:00:55] takes your breath away, the main measure, because we somehow are in the
[00:00:59] center of Europe. The only ones left who
[00:01:02] supported it. With God's grace to all. Happy
[00:01:04] holiday. Here a fair also unfolded,
[00:01:08] local cheesemakers and beekeepers offer their treats.
[00:01:11] пчеловоды.
[00:01:13] Next is the weather forecast, and in a few minutes, don't miss the current
[00:01:17] interview. The abolition of the Black Code, France's colonial
[00:01:20] past.
[00:03:14] The first region, the first in everything, how many smart
[00:03:18] gadgets are needed, yes, to say that the city has become smart, here I
[00:03:21] live in my district, here is my house, here is my shop, some kind of
[00:03:25] resort message, I already imagine myself, to be
[00:03:28] honest, this is not Pinsk, this is Mikashevichi,
[00:03:32] this is expensive, in our area they don't ring, but they call, paraphrasing
[00:03:35] the classics, the culture of construction appears, something very
[00:03:38] architectural sounded, the budget, it is not rubber,
[00:03:42] what was it, just a lot of material accumulated.
[00:04:04] Hello, this is Palitra, a program about people whose ideas are born before
[00:04:08] our eyes to become part of the creative economy. Today in
[00:04:11] our studio is Nikolay Vlasyuk, an expert in urban planning,
[00:04:15] who knows how to turn a city into a brand. Nikolay Nikolaevich,
[00:04:18] glad to see you. Good afternoon. Nikolay
[00:04:22] Vlasyuk, chief architect of the Brest region, professor
[00:04:25] of Brest State Technical University. The first in Belarus
[00:04:28] developed the concept of turnkey urban spatial development. According to his
[00:04:32] ideas, by 2050 Brest will be transformed into a garden city at the intersection of
[00:04:36] nature and technology, his experience is applied in other countries. An adept
[00:04:40] of theory in practice about how space shapes a person.
[00:04:43] Believes that every settlement in Belarus needs
[00:04:47] its own unique face.
[00:04:50] Nikolay Nikolaevich, it is no coincidence that the color scheme of our studio today is green, because
[00:04:54] we will talk a lot with you about how to harmoniously connect
[00:04:58] nature, technology. I really hope that as an expert in
[00:05:02] urban planning and an expert in the field of
[00:05:05] smart approach, among other things, you will reveal this topic, but I
[00:05:08] propose to start with such an important block, which is called the path:
[00:05:13] as an architect, you will understand, this is the foundation, uh-huh, right now
[00:05:16] we are moving to this block.
[00:05:20] Nikolay Nikolaevich, today your knowledge, your experience, ideas
[00:05:23] are implemented not only in Belarus, but in Russia, in Kazakhstan,
[00:05:27] a unique fate from the point of view that in general, even the paths
[00:05:30] in architecture could have been different for you, I mean even
[00:05:33] geographical, you became the youngest architect of the city of
[00:05:37] Minsk in your time, yes you had the opportunity to generally stay in
[00:05:40] Minsk, but chose Brest.
[00:05:43] and that is, you returned to your native Brest, we remember that you are a
[00:05:46] Brest resident in the third generation already, so what was
[00:05:49] it, because everyone always strives for Minsk one way or another, yes, everyone
[00:05:53] thinks that Minsk is the peak of a career,
[00:05:56] but you did otherwise, this is also the uniqueness of your choice, you know,
[00:06:00] probably, well, how it happened, a good theoretical base was
[00:06:03] formed, that is, working at the urban planning
[00:06:06] institute allowed to have
[00:06:09] an idea of modern trends in urban planning.
[00:06:12] urbanism and I
[00:06:15] assumed that working in Minsk would allow to implement some approaches
[00:06:18] fairly quickly, modern trends,
[00:06:22] but after working in the city, I realized
[00:06:25] that in a small city or in a regional
[00:06:29] center, in my native city, implementing my
[00:06:32] ideas and approaches would not be easier, because
[00:06:36] the connection between the mayor of the city and the chief
[00:06:39] architect is very important, therefore. when an offer came
[00:06:43] from the mayor of Brest to come to Brest
[00:06:47] in a single team to work on the fact that
[00:06:51] the city is preparing for its millennium, in general there was such a carte blanche for
[00:06:54] trying to implement those
[00:06:58] ideas that exist, for example, in Brest, I
[00:07:02] took advantage of this opportunity and returned to my hometown, if
[00:07:05] you even look today at the approaches, well, in the same
[00:07:09] Europe, not all Germans strive to move to
[00:07:12] Berlin to live, yes, there are many cities, there
[00:07:16] Dresden, there Leipzig and so on and
[00:07:18] so forth, which have some kind of their own feature, their own
[00:07:22] trick, that is, whether it's in Dresden, the Dresden
[00:07:25] Gallery or there Oktoberfest, and what is our
[00:07:29] problem today, that Minsk as a magnet pulls all
[00:07:32] resources from the republic, small
[00:07:36] cities and villages are emptying, the number of
[00:07:39] residents is decreasing, they are collected by regional centers, from regional centers... they go to
[00:07:42] the capital, but, but you have a solution, and it was
[00:07:46] announced, yes, yes, the topic that Minsk is not rubber, it's true,
[00:07:50] even the head of state said that enough of bloating Minsk,
[00:07:54] so the topic of Minsk agglomeration of satellite cities appeared,
[00:07:57] so today we actively talk about the need to
[00:08:01] develop identity, branding and
[00:08:04] rethinking of regional cities, regional
[00:08:07] centers, and today there is a program of cities 80+, cities with
[00:08:11] accelerated...
[00:08:43] and of course it's more important,
[00:08:47] it's more important to adhere to your
[00:08:50] mentality, but nevertheless to understand that the world is moving
[00:08:53] forward, and you cannot lag behind the world, you need to keep up with the times,
[00:08:57] well, if we even talk about specific examples, then
[00:09:00] China is very actively developing in this regard, they have
[00:09:03] more than 500 cities already operating under the smart approach
[00:09:07] system, and moreover, it formed the basis of
[00:09:10] China's state program.
[00:09:12] At our level, something could certainly be done, we also,
[00:09:16] of course, have the topic of smart cities, a state program for
[00:09:20] the development of smart cities, much has been done at different
[00:09:24] levels, but sometimes I joke, I say, which city is smarter,
[00:09:27] let's compare, so, Kobrin or Pinsk,
[00:09:31] so, Minsk or Grodno, how will we
[00:09:34] compare, compare which city is smarter, where there are more smart technologies,
[00:09:37] smart services, how many smart gadgets are needed, yes,
[00:09:41] to say that... it became smart, or are there other criteria, and
[00:09:45] the very idea of a smart city is not to
[00:09:48] cram the city with these gadgets, these gadgets will already be watching
[00:09:52] you, but to have feedback from the residents of the city, smart
[00:09:55] technologies are not a sign of an equal smart city, feedback,
[00:09:58] rather here I consider it a more important component, because it seems to me that
[00:10:02] in any city, the most important capital is human capital, that is, all
[00:10:06] cities are fighting for people, in Brest, before
[00:10:10] we... started working on the general plan of the city, before the millennium
[00:10:13] of the city, we decided to go a little differently,
[00:10:16] before the start of
[00:10:19] the design, we hung two maps in the city's info center:
[00:10:23] in green, the places that need to be preserved, in red, the places
[00:10:27] that need to be corrected, this was generally a
[00:10:30] marker for the city mayor's office, for the city
[00:10:34] administration, to see in what priority urban planning
[00:10:37] policy needs to be built,
[00:10:39] and local residents began to say that we want more bike paths,
[00:10:43] we want it to be a green city, we want to have more
[00:10:47] parks, that we have a concert hall, we want, that
[00:10:50] is, this is the request of residents. All
[00:10:54] this strategy formed the basis of the city's general
[00:10:57] plan, and the city's general plan fixed with its regulations, already,
[00:11:01] which have legal status, and was
[00:11:04] approved by the head of state and is mandatory for
[00:11:07] execution.
[00:11:11] our next block starts with the author in the most correct way, because the author
[00:11:14] is sitting opposite me, Nikolay Nikolaevich Vlasyuk, the author of this
[00:11:18] scientific work, I'm not afraid of that word, quite weighty, and this is
[00:11:22] the Brest strategy, a garden city, why? It was
[00:11:25] Brest, why did it have indications to become a garden
[00:11:29] city? It is probably the only, or a very rare
[00:11:33] city in Belarus that was moved to a new place, during
[00:11:37] the construction of the fortress, a thousand-year-old city in the middle of the 19th century
[00:11:41] was moved one and a half kilometers to the east, and
[00:11:44] block development was formed by military engineers, where
[00:11:48] city boulevards alternate with streets, and they
[00:11:52] did it when it was not yet a mainstream, as it's called.
[00:12:03] developed at the end of the 19th century, that
[00:12:06] is, 50 years later than Brest, the same
[00:12:09] center, park, today - this is a fortress, and
[00:12:13] block development radiates with a comfortable scale, so
[00:12:17] this somehow inspired the theme of the garden
[00:12:20] city, this is certainly not the garden city in
[00:12:55] a single framework, in a single strategy, and what
[00:12:58] is good is that it was also possible to fix all this in the scheme of greened
[00:13:01] areas of the city, this is also such
[00:13:04] a mandatory urban planning project today, which
[00:13:08] regulates the presence and percentage of green
[00:13:12] zones in the city, today for the Brest region, we have developed,
[00:13:15] we have developed in 5 years for all
[00:13:19] district centers, these schemes of separated territories, if I am not
[00:13:22] mistaken, there is even such a world standard, it is clear that not all countries
[00:13:26] can afford it, but it seems to me that Belarus is among them, when you know,
[00:13:30] a person has 10 minutes to the park, yes, there is a concept of
[00:13:33] a fifteen-minute pedestrian city or
[00:13:36] a ten-minute one, and we also strive for this,
[00:13:40] we basically have all the prerequisites, the Soviet
[00:13:43] school, despite the fact that there is criticism, but
[00:13:47] the service system itself was built
[00:13:50] quite competently, and the radii of accessibility were correctly
[00:13:54] selected in... in the walking distance zone of schools, kindergartens,
[00:13:57] polyclinics, shops, today we only
[00:14:00] need to simply give gloss and comfort,
[00:14:03] quality to this environment that we inherited, well,
[00:14:07] everything new that is built, to form it in a new quality.
[00:14:11] How did you feel that Brest could be made
[00:14:13] into a brand? Well, you know, there are still prerequisites
[00:14:17] - returning to Brest, you feel
[00:14:21] a comfortable environment, large-scale development of the historical
[00:14:24] center. There is a river, lots of
[00:14:27] greenery, boulevards, you come to Sochi
[00:14:30] or Odessa, yes, some kind of resort
[00:14:33] message, and we analyzed this concept of a southern
[00:14:37] capital, we found that Brest is in the same climatic zone
[00:14:41] as Prague, that is, almost southern
[00:14:45] Europe, and if you look at the
[00:14:48] vegetation, we have very, well, the vegetation is quite
[00:14:51] scarce, we have very little vertical landscaping. The same
[00:14:55] ivy, there wisteria, there, well, maiden
[00:14:58] grapes, a lot of plants that could be
[00:15:01] a symbol of the city, like chestnut for Brest, there is a medal,
[00:15:05] so, a thousand years to Brest, a symbol, a logo,
[00:15:09] so, it's a chestnut leaf, uh-huh, for example, the
[00:15:12] embankment could have been decorated, and we have already started to decorate it with Crimean
[00:15:16] pines, these are pines with large needles,
[00:15:19] or, for example, planted an alley of Magnolias, where else in Belarus is there
[00:15:23] an alley of magnolias or...
[00:17:07] countries of the southern part, also such gates in the form of a business center, in
[00:17:11] the form of a modern hotel, such a
[00:17:14] development is gradually being built, which well, says that
[00:17:18] the city today has a modern look, in fact, this
[00:17:21] new modern avenue, besides the embankment, we realized that there are already very
[00:17:25] serious shifts in this, a city garden appeared, which, by the way, is also a very
[00:17:28] remarkable place, it seems to me, for citizens and guests of Brest, and
[00:17:32] what else is currently being implemented? In each
[00:17:36] direction, some progress has been made, if we talk about the
[00:17:39] historical center, then,
[00:17:43] uh, so, between the fortress and
[00:17:46] the city was the Esplanade territory, this is a territory that was not
[00:17:49] built up, in the Soviet period, it became
[00:17:53] an industrial zone, and
[00:17:55] there was a river port, there is a CHP, there was
[00:17:59] transshipment, there were some warehouse territories, and so,
[00:18:02] today there is an active transformation of this territory into a public space,
[00:18:06] this is the topic of reno.
[00:19:37] But I think the time has come when
[00:19:40] we should still address
[00:19:42] the person,
[00:19:45] I would really like to focus on the fact that you really have such
[00:19:49] a human-centered approach, generally a lot of vitality in the projects that
[00:19:52] you develop, it is clear that this
[00:19:56] slogan, everything for people, yes, can be rethought
[00:19:59] a little differently, if we are talking about microdistricts, even
[00:20:03] sleeping areas, people still
[00:20:06] would like to... yes, talk about how in our area they don't call, but
[00:20:10] they do call, paraphrasing the classic and so on, but nevertheless there is a request
[00:20:14] for such a well-thought-out ecosystem, that I live in my area, here
[00:20:17] is my house, here is my shop, here I have a playground,
[00:20:21] parking, some other things, maybe we will analyze with you concrete examples,
[00:20:25] but if we talk initially about the Soviet
[00:20:29] period, this is modernism, this is
[00:20:32] rigid functional zoning, home, work,
[00:20:35] home, two places, so, so, a third one appears,
[00:20:39] appears, now we are talking about yes, about the approach,
[00:20:42] the humane approach, when a third public space appears,
[00:20:46] when there is home, work and there is a third place where we can...
[00:20:50] relax or meet or after work, so,
[00:20:53] play sports, so today's trends are not rigid
[00:20:57] functional zoning, but a mixture of all territories, all zones, and
[00:21:00] not to make this monounction of this sleeping bag, this
[00:21:04] sleeping microdistrict, which also creates pendulum
[00:21:08] migration, so the idea of identity was proposed,
[00:21:12] each residential area should have its own face, each new block
[00:21:15] should have its own toponymy or some kind of
[00:21:19] memory of the place.
[00:22:20] Brezhestroy, our house-building plant also met us halfway and
[00:22:24] developed specialized series of corner sections, so that
[00:22:28] it would be possible to form block development and such
[00:22:31] city houses, single-entrance houses, towers, uh
[00:22:35] also, so that there was variability, uh-huh, but
[00:22:38] industrial housing construction has a lot of
[00:22:41] advantages, but it simply lacks variability
[00:22:44] of puzzles - from which you can assemble in various
[00:22:48] this environment, different in height,
[00:22:52] different in architecture, how to create this environment from cubes, in addition to
[00:22:55] identity and navigation, the topic of an accessible environment, yes, it is very
[00:22:59] important, by the way, we are still revolving around the topic of Soviet heritage,
[00:23:03] it turns out that all these steep entrances, when you know,
[00:23:06] they are on a hill, and you still have to climb up the stairs or
[00:23:10] carry a stroller, it's a whole quest, they couldn't cope with this
[00:23:14] topic for a long time, and well, they started with what, they started building ramps, we had
[00:23:17] complaints. so from residents, that children gather on the
[00:23:21] ramp of the first floor watching TV, so in the
[00:23:24] kitchen on the first floor,
[00:23:27] этаже,
[00:23:30] yes, it was necessary to simply rework the sections to make, so
[00:23:33] an additional possibility for the elevator to go down half a floor
[00:23:37] to zero with, so, the
[00:23:40] entrance, we solved the problem of this inviting march for
[00:23:44] half a floor, which fully today the elevator fully solves
[00:23:48] the problems of inaccessibility.
[00:24:20] or Asian, my approach is that we need to create more
[00:24:23] transport bypasses around the city, transport corridors, where
[00:24:26] you can quickly get with noise barriers for such
[00:24:29] high-speed highways, and the city center, of course, should give
[00:24:33] priority to pedestrians, cyclists, but the idea is to
[00:24:36] get from one district to another,
[00:24:39] ideally through a green area, through a green corridor,
[00:24:42] along a boulevard, along a bike path, along the embankment,
[00:24:46] even, well, ideally without crossing.
[00:25:20] construction of so many kilometers of roads, but we are not
[00:25:23] talking about quality, will these square meters be comfortable,
[00:25:26] will these roads solve the problems of city connectivity,
[00:25:30] so today there are not enough qualitative criteria in
[00:25:33] evaluating
[00:25:34] the work of
[00:25:37] city authorities, there are even indicators from our neighbors, right,
[00:25:41] they have been working on this principle for at least the last few years, that
[00:25:44] is, they evaluate the quality of life, the level of happiness even to
[00:25:48] some extent, if.
[00:26:16] and an assessment can be made for the city authorities not only in terms of the implementation of these
[00:26:20] square meters, but how much your city has become better,
[00:26:23] because if a city becomes bigger, it doesn't mean it becomes
[00:26:27] better,
[00:26:30] we are very smoothly moving to... a block called
[00:26:34] ideas, and of course I cannot but recall to start this
[00:26:38] block with your quote that cities are in
[00:26:40] general like people, yes, they are all different and each should have its own
[00:26:44] highlight, and we are finally approaching your very
[00:26:47] responsible mission, which you are now occupying, probably all your not only
[00:26:51] working, but also free time, this is the development of small cities, so
[00:26:55] let's discuss with you using the example of Mikashevichi, let's approach it unusually,
[00:26:59] what is the highlight of Mikashevichi, according to last year's
[00:27:02] harvest festival in the city
[00:27:05] and
[00:27:07] what makes Mikashevichi special, it is a single-industry town,
[00:27:11] the town has a specialized enterprise, it is
[00:27:14] granite, which mines here in the
[00:27:17] town, next to the town there is a large quarry, the size of, imagine,
[00:27:20] a hole the size of a town, where there are waterfalls,
[00:27:24] so, separate excursions, tourists come, this is such an industrial
[00:27:28] tourism, to see them here we will meet them, we are waiting for them with
[00:27:31] an architectural solution. When the task was, for example, for the harvest festival, to create
[00:27:34] a concept, a city, streets, what did we take as a basis?
[00:27:38] We took this stone, granite, of which they have a lot,
[00:27:42] they, of course, are all tired of this granite, but when
[00:27:45] tourists come, it's interesting for them to see, and we made small
[00:27:48] architectural forms, we made gabions, benches, even there
[00:27:51] construction equipment on so, on the ends of buildings, this
[00:27:55] industrial industry of this city, it
[00:27:58] well, as if designates it, uh-huh.
[00:28:02] that it is a unique city, and this is not Kobrin, this is not
[00:28:06] Pinsk, this is Mikashevichi, they are recognizable, no matter where you
[00:28:09] take photos, so,
[00:28:12] Mikashevichi, the residents and administration also didn't understand at first, they were
[00:28:16] tired of these stones, but when
[00:28:18] we did it, the theme was liked, we made
[00:28:22] a park, we made these facade ends, we landscaped the street, we also made
[00:28:26] an observation deck on the quarry, a new modern platform
[00:28:29] in the form of a pavilion, we even wanted to make it over the quarry with
[00:28:33] such, so, a panorama, well, we moved away a little for safety
[00:28:36] purposes, but nevertheless we designated our
[00:28:40] identity in the city, and today we are talking about the fact that we
[00:28:43] are engaged in the first region, branding of the region, we have
[00:28:47] such a creative team, the governor's assistant, very actively
[00:28:51] promotes this topic, and the Bison Museum, this hashtag
[00:28:54] first region, it is officially registered, first region,
[00:28:58] first in everything, and such an idea, how... to build a matryoshka, this
[00:29:02] hierarchy - these brandings from the regional
[00:29:05] center to the cities of intra-regional subordination,
[00:29:09] district centers and towns, so that
[00:29:11] each city thinks about what makes it special, so, if we
[00:29:15] talk about Pinsk - it is historical development,
[00:29:19] a unique environment, a pedestrian street and generally Pinsk is the capital
[00:29:22] of Polissya, so Pinchuki with their own mentality, with their
[00:29:26] own character, yes, and if we talk today about Pripyat, about
[00:29:30] Polissya, yes. then also an absolutely unpromoted
[00:29:33] topic, if if we know about Belovezhskaya Pushcha
[00:29:37] and many know, they come here, the Brest fortress
[00:29:41] and Belovezhskaya Pushcha, then Polissya is the potential
[00:29:44] that has not yet been fully revealed, somewhere
[00:29:47] we heard about Herodotus' sea, so a lot of festivals are appearing
[00:29:51] now, now a bridge is being built between Luninets
[00:29:54] and Stolin, and today we are also discussing how
[00:29:58] to transform the territory where there used to be a ferry.
[00:30:01] пором.
[00:30:32] yes, they will take over, but they realized that city administrations are used to
[00:30:36] being told what to do, and we unobtrusively pointed it out, under the
[00:30:39] signature of the deputy governor, so, letters were sent out,
[00:30:43] that all cities should develop their own
[00:30:46] design code, submit it to the urban planning council,
[00:30:49] consider it by the beginning of next year, approve it, that
[00:30:53] is, a single concept of the city,
[00:30:55] the central part of the city, how advertising will be placed, what
[00:30:59] will be on the signs.
[00:31:56] this is the trick, and what else is interesting about it, it is interesting because it should
[00:31:59] attract people, that is, creative economy, and your
[00:32:03] program, it also talks about this, that I see many
[00:32:07] Russians even in Brest, when they come, they say: great, we
[00:32:10] are ready to live here, renting housing here is
[00:32:13] inexpensive, it's comfortable to work here, the internet
[00:32:17] allows it, there are good people here, all conditions are met, and
[00:32:21] we, well, these are human resources, you can develop
[00:32:24] industry, 100% important,
[00:32:27] an important element, and you can develop a creative
[00:32:30] economy and invite in this way, this is also
[00:32:33] a high-quality environment, it is a driver of urban development and
[00:32:37] a driver of economic development,
[00:32:39] undervalued.
[00:32:43] Well, and what, in your opinion, a little bit?
[00:34:15] serious and expanded, so that the head of the city administration
[00:34:18] more clearly understood what urban planning documentation is, what
[00:34:22] regulations are, what a detailed plan is, what a
[00:34:25] strategy is, and how generally the interaction
[00:34:28] between the resident and the city authorities works, how to build
[00:34:32] this dialogue, because all these are such fine
[00:34:35] settings, fine mechanisms,
[00:34:39] and let's say, today during public discussion, we still
[00:34:42] have a misunderstanding when residents.
[00:35:15] the beginning of the journey, when urbanologists appear, this is exactly the
[00:35:18] group of people who can be this
[00:35:21] link between residents and city authorities, or
[00:35:25] the deputy corps can also take on this function,
[00:35:28] translate, so, the requests of residents, combine and
[00:35:32] so, translate to the city authorities and from the city authorities
[00:35:36] explain to residents what is planned here, why
[00:35:39] it is necessary to densify the city, that it is not to
[00:35:42] its detriment, but that the task of
[00:35:46] the mayor of the city is to make the city efficient, well, yes, that is, that this action has a certain
[00:35:49] meaning, I, in this regard, would even honestly act without intermediaries,
[00:35:53] I would say that this is exactly, you know, as they say, there is a meme, this is needed
[00:35:57] by your mother, your father, you, in general, urbanism is needed by everyone, it's like about
[00:36:00] doctor, you don't discuss sometimes whether to have
[00:36:04] an operation with a doctor or not, he says you need to cut, because he is
[00:36:08] a specialist in this, we
[00:36:11] can express our opinion, but yes, there are specialists who.
[00:36:18] And what does an architect risk in general, this name, reputation,
[00:36:21] is definitely at stake, it's important for you, for example, that somewhere under
[00:36:25] the project is written Nikolayk. native
[00:36:27] city this
[00:36:31] reputational component is very important and
[00:36:34] there are different approaches in the world, as it were, the Soviet approach was that
[00:36:38] the chief architect of the city, he could
[00:36:40] cross out the project that he was brought and say,
[00:36:44] here you need to draw another facade, I'm not satisfied,
[00:36:47] his subjective opinion could prevail,
[00:36:51] let's see how it was, for example, there, I don't know, in the same Europe, imagine
[00:36:54] that Sir Norman Foster comes to...
[00:37:27] and today we are at such a transitional stage, either we switch to
[00:37:31] the fact that here is the author's architecture and the author's
[00:37:34] design will bear responsibility, the one who
[00:37:37] designs, then I vote with both hands
[00:37:41] for us to write the authorship
[00:37:43] of the architect who designed this building, we will not have faceless
[00:37:47] buildings, because rare architects will agree to sign under
[00:37:50] a building with poor
[00:37:52] architecture,
[00:37:55] we are already today with your conversation...
[00:38:27] main ambitions, based on
[00:38:30] this. From the point of view of affordable housing in Belarus, I believe everything is very
[00:38:34] good, from the point of view of social housing, affordable housing,
[00:38:37] we are in a good rating we are in,
[00:38:41] but again, we should not stop at what has been achieved, and
[00:38:45] further we should improve, here, probably, qualitatively
[00:38:48] improve, maybe the introduction of new urban planning
[00:38:51] documentation, today we officially only have
[00:38:54] general plans and detailed plans of urban development. documentation
[00:38:58] in Russia and Europe today there is such a
[00:39:01] concept as a master plan or here again the strategy
[00:39:05] of spatial development, which is more mobile
[00:39:08] it responds faster to the challenges of time, everyone understands what
[00:39:12] is at stake, what vector of development of this city, this settlement,
[00:39:15] it is not hidden behind these regulations,
[00:39:19] incomprehensible general plan, but it is clear and publicly available
[00:39:22] in open access, so most likely, that's
[00:39:26] what you need... take all the best, identify
[00:39:29] the potential of our small towns, our regional centers, in
[00:39:33] order for each of our cities to have its own characteristics, to be
[00:39:36] comfortable and attractive, here I have such a question, imagine, you understand that every day
[00:39:40] there is something to work on, but
[00:39:43] 2050 comes, when we understand that this
[00:39:47] strategy, yes, the concept, more precisely, developed by you, it
[00:39:51] has been implemented, God willing, so it will be, you walk, well,
[00:39:54] for example, along Sovetskaya Street in Brest. What
[00:39:58] do you feel at this moment? and this is a vision, in
[00:40:02] the strategy there is a vision, in it, in principle, it is described in sufficient detail
[00:40:05] what I feel when I walk around the city
[00:40:08] in 30 years, I walk around a
[00:40:11] comfortable city, where the city is pedestrian, where there are many
[00:40:15] terraces, where there is fresh air, where the smell
[00:40:18] of phytoncides, meaning from coniferous trees that
[00:40:22] grow in this city, people play sports,
[00:40:25] people go to fewer clinics. people run
[00:40:28] more, ride bicycles,
[00:40:32] here there is an opportunity, if we talk about
[00:40:35] a creative city - this is a city that gives people
[00:40:38] the opportunity to develop and be
[00:40:41] needed, there are some separate topics here, like growth points,
[00:40:44] economy, green framework, residential areas, you can
[00:40:48] go into details, but in general these are
[00:40:51] cities that help residents
[00:40:54] realize their potential have this vital.
