Problems of sustainable development. Real estate development after the pandemic (based on the materials of the Gaidar Forum - 2021)

Abstract

We quote Lenin more and more often and recall Stalin realizing that it is impossible to lead the humanity to happiness “with an iron hand". By speeding up and slowing down, stumbling, and getting up, deluding and enlightening, it must realize: happiness is development, devotion to the good, the love and the joy of understanding Creator's ideas!!! A participant of the Gaidar Forum - 2021 Recent development trends are formed under the influence of multiple factors. They move in different directions and make completely unexpected turns, adjusting standard settings and expectations of the population. Meanwhile, the rap­id development of anthropology, futurology, information modeling against the background of the effective and timely implementation of state support measures, international community's efforts to promote valuation technologies of sus­tainable development, the expansion of “green” financing and the demand to impose social responsibility on large busi­nesses allows to assume that all sectors of the national economy, including real estate and construction, will be ex­posed not only to digital transformation, technological upgrade, institutional and socio-economic reboot, but also to the re-evaluation of efficiency criteria of business models. In this regard, the implementation of the requirements of the Na­tional Project “Housing and Urban Environment” is complicated not only due to the budget constraints, the decline in production, the outflow of migrants due to the pandemic, but also due to the need to significantly reconsider the mod­el of economic development. It is necessary to restructure not only the industrial and infrastructure framework of capital funds, but also to develop fundamentally new approaches to the management of the life cycle of real estate. The grow­ing singularity of economic processes forces us to make flexible decisions and create different types of real estate with regard for emerging cultural and anthropological preferences. At the same time, information and construction process­es have already merged together within the framework of the construction industry that creates new items of real estate and capitalizes the existing ones. Digital design, acting together with new investment mechanisms, generates a promis­ing model for the accelerated implementation of design and construction cycles. The Internet of Things creates not only “smart homes”, but also “smart cities” and “smart agglomerations”. The “New Normality” will trigger systemic changes in real estate management in order to provide it with self-optimizing properties of sustainable development, a new cul­ture of efficiency, the implementation of principles of “Economics of Trust” and interaction with development institutions, as well as the accelerated introduction of environmental-information technologies and preventive mechanisms used to resolve the contradictions arising between construction process participants.
