Construction Economics in the Historic Centre International Forum is being hosted for the first time in Kazan. The forum will see participation from over 50 Russian regions and 15 countries from the CIS and beyond.

The primary goal of the forum is to gather and analyse the best construction practices from both Russia and overseas. Following the event, methodological recommendations for implementing best practices at both regional and federal levels will be suggested.

Why REBUS? It stands for Renovation, Unity, Balance, Sustainability and Construction (Russian acronym).

Every builder, entrepreneur, architect and producer of construction and finishing materials faces the challenge of solving a complex puzzle when executing projects in urban districts with historical architecture and during the renovation of historical heritage sites.

• How can we strike a balance between the interests of the government and investors?
• Which legislative initiatives could help to lower existing barriers?
• Is it worthwhile to utilise the existing knowledge from similar projects in other cities?
• What should be the cost of housing in the historical centre and is it financially viable to develop residential projects in the historical part? Which materials are suitable for construction purposes? Will investments in unique designs and materials yield returns?

Invited participants include developers, planners, builders, architects, representatives from the tourism industry, suppliers and manufacturers of construction materials, experts from relevant companies and departments, and students from related universities.
