Putin ran a video meeting about the Infrastructure for Life project with the State Council Presidium. He wants comfortable living spaces across Russia by supporting 2,160 key settlements where most citizens live. These areas form the backbone of Russian infrastructure. Regional leaders started creating master plans, but their legal status remains unclear. Putin urged faster work on related legislation.
Housing construction aims for 663 million square meters by 2030 and 1.383 billion by 2036, which would provide about 33 square meters per person. However, economic issues have delayed over 2,000 housing projects nationwide. Putin criticized banks for charging hidden fees on top of government-subsidized mortgage programs.
Individual home building reached 62.3 million square meters in 2024, making up 58% of all new housing. Programs like dacha amnesty and social gasification helped this growth. Putin called for more land access and infrastructure support to expand individual construction further. He wants solutions for Soviet-era buildings that increase dilapidated housing stock.
Since 2018, the government has spent over 600 billion rubles on utilities, modernizing 3,655 facilities and 10,000 km of networks. Another 4.5 trillion rubles will go toward system updates by 2030. Putin emphasized developing clear standards for apartment building maintenance and repairs. He sees roads as a continuing priority despite climate challenges.
