Luzhkov will help to build up Karakas

Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov goes to Karakas. The visit will last from 5 to 7 May. According to BFM.RU , citing a press secretary of the Department of Foreign Economic Activities and International Relations of the city of Moscow Alexander Pogorelov, the main topics of negotiations will be the development of the General Plan of the development of Karakas "Taking into account the experience of Moscow in the organization of system development", as well as the modernization of urban infrastructure.

Luzhkova, as expected, will accept the President of Venezuela Hugo Chavez, who fired seven ministers who were responsible for construction over the past 4 years. In an attempt to cope with the growing deficit of housing, the Venezuelan authorities entered into agreements to build cheap apartments with Iran and Brazil.

Brazil has something to offer neighboring Venezuela. This is the Kuritiba project (Curitiba), in an interview with BFM.RU, professor of the Moscow Architectural Institute and member of the Public Chamber Vyacheslav Glazychev. The city of Kuritiba, the capital of the Brazilian state of Paran, is considered to be one of the most successful examples of urban planning around the world. "The level of study of our general plan will not look very good against the general background, the modern type of urban planning is based primarily on consensus," says Glazychev, admitting that anything that you like can happen in the country of Charvez. "

Karakas with its sealing is one of the most complex megacities in the world, and only such a general plan like Moscow can save him, an active critic of the document, a member of the Presidium of the Expert Council for Transport at the Main architect of Moscow Alexei Klimenko. According to him, "the developed document does not have the right to be called the master plan, because it does not outline the exit from the urban planning collapse, which can be judged by the state of transport and traffic in Moscow."

The Russian Spanish -language channel Rusia Hoy claims: all the necessary documents on the construction of social housing in Karakas and the development of the general plan were the other day by the Russian delegation in Venezuela.

This is part of the agreements reached during the April visit to Venezuela Vladimir Putin. As stated in the Venezuela Government, dedicated to the visit of Yuri Luzhkov, the Moscow delegation "will offer Venezuela the experience accumulated by Russia in the realization of the right of each family to possess worthy housing."

The authorities of Venezuela turned to the Moscow Government to create the General Plan for the Moscow government, and at the end of April, the chief architect of the capital, Alexander Kuzmin, told in late April. “Our five -story buildings in some areas of Karakas are considered palaces,” Kuzmin said, expressing the hope that Moscow architects will be involved not only in the development of the General Plan of Karakas, but also to the design of some areas of the city.

At the same time, it is worth recalling that Moscow has the biggest problems with the master plan for the development of the city until 2025. It is assumed that the Moscow City Duma will consider this document in the third reading on Wednesday, May 5, when the mayor of Luzhkov will already be in Karakas. The General Plane causes sharp criticism among independent architects and the Public Chamber. The OP Commission on the preservation and development of domestic culture called the draft document to the "death sentence" of the capital.

The April meeting of OP, at which the general plan was discussed, was marked by a scandal . The chief architect of Moscow Alexander Kuzmin and the speaker of the Moscow City Duma Vladimir Platonov defiantly left the meeting.

As it became known last week, the Public Chamber is ready to contact the Ministry of Regional Development to find out whether the project of the general plan with the federal authorities is agreed.
