REPORT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF NUCLEAR TOWNS AND CITIES
There was a significant increase in the amount of funding for national projects in 13 towns and cities, with
the biggest increase recorded in the following towns and cities: the CATFS of Zelenogorsk, Zheleznogorsk,
Lesnoy and Sarov; Balakovo, Bilibino, Volgodonsk, Dimitrovgrad, Zarechny (Sverdlovsk Region), Kovrov,
Polyarnye Zori, Udomlya and Elektrostal.
The largest number of towns and cities are involved in the implementation of the following national
projects: Housing and Urban Environment, Education, Culture, and Ecology.
In 2022, all nuclear towns and cities continued to implement the Housing and Urban Environment
National Project. Funding for this project increased by a factor of 2.5, from RUB 1,188.1 million in 2019 to
RUB 2,944.1 million in 2022.
The federal project titled 'Creating a Comfortable Urban Environment', which forms part of this national
project, is being implemented in all nuclear towns and cities, except for Bilibino. The cost of measures
implemented over four years totals RUB 6,031.6 million, including RUB 1,554.1 million in 2022.
As part of the Housing and Urban Environment National Project, work is underway in 10 nuclear towns
and cities to reduce the substandard housing stock (the CATF of Zelenogorsk, Balakovo, Bilibino, Polyarnye
Zori, Dimitrovgrad, Obninsk, Glazov, Kovrov, Usolye-Sibirskoye and Elektrostal).
The Clean Water Federal Project was included in the Housing and Urban Environment National Project in
2021. Its implementation between 2019 and 2021 enabled a significant improvement of the water supply

Seversk.

In 2022, the four towns that have been participating
in the implementation of the Ecology National Project
since 2019 (the CATFS of Ozersk, Snezhinsk and
Tryokhgorny, and Bilibino) were joined by eight more
towns and cities (the CATFS of Lesnoy, Novouralsk
and Sarov; Kurchatov, Sosnovy Bor, Dimitrovgrad,
Usolye-Sibirskoye and Volgodonsk). 11 towns and
cities actively participate in the Clean Country

the town of Sarov (RUB 1,307.5 million) and in the
city of Dimitrovgrad (RUB 103.1 million).
Urban environment
BBetween 2018 and 2022, nuclear towns and cities
received methodological assistance in shaping and
developing the urban environment. Lectures and
expert discussions were held; master plans were
developed for six projects in five towns and cities
(Zelenogorsk, Zheleznogorsk, Novouralsk, Elektrostal
and Krasnokamensk); applications were prepared for
participation in the National Competition for the Best
Projects to Create a Comfortable Urban Environment
(hereinafter referred to as the Competition), which is
held by the Russian Ministry of Construction, Housing
and Utilities.
Systematic methodological work with municipal
administrations and the participation of nuclear towns
and cities in the Competition have made it possible to
develop a comprehensive vision of projects focused
on urban improvement and the development of
the urban environment and the towns' and cities'
long-term plans to develop the urban environment,
which successfully combine solutions for urban.
improvement and business development.
