Model for ESG-Renovation

Model for ESG‑Renovation

The Model for ESG‑Renovation is a fundamental approach illustrating the opportunities of the renovation of the outdated mass housing in  microdistrict residential areas in accordance with the principles of ESG, providing high‑quality environmental, social and governance effects.

The renovation affects the microdistrict development formed in 1960-1980 and formed primarily by five-storey panel, block and brick sectional houses. Among the main disadvantages of such areas are the monotony of architectural solutions, low density, shortage of public service facilities, as well as poor quality of public spaces and landscaping of adjacent territories. At the same time, the key positive feature of such areas is the abundance of greenery, as well as the scale of development.

Step 3

Governance solutions

Implementation of a strategic set of policies to create opportunities for an open dialogue between residents, city authorities and developers within the framework of the development of the district, as well as to ensure the introduction of new, flexible financial and non-financial instruments that allow the implementation of high-quality projects that meet the interests of all stakeholders.
