    On February 14, at the site of the Russian Investment Forum in Sochi, a session of the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation "Smart City: from theory to practice" was held.

    A comprehensive and phased implementation of smart solutions in all areas of urban life will increase the level of security, reduce management, housing and communal services costs, improve the city's ecology and its transport accessibility, and therefore make it attractive for investment.


    The session was moderated by Andrey Chibis, Deputy Minister of Construction, Housing and Communal Services of the Russian Federation.

    4. Redistribution of income between marginal and social projects.
    5. Integration of Russian projects into the international agenda.

    The Russian Investment Forum is a traditional platform for presenting the investment and economic potential of Russia. The main events of the forum were held at the Main Media Center of the Olympic Park in Sochi.



    The Metropolis company worked on the development of structural and engineering solutions for this facility. The uniqueness of the design of the Main Media Center was its two-stage use. The state-of-the-art information platform, which provides high-speed transmission of information by journalists around the world, received a second life after the Games, becoming a venue for major forums and conferences.
