Abstract:
The paper presents the results of in-depth interviews and a questionnaire survey of the Russian cites administration representatives about cities resilience under the sanctions pressure and COVID-19. The survey was conducted by the Center for Territorial Changes and Urban Development of IPEI RANEPA in March-May 2023, it was attended by representatives of the administration of more than 50 cities of the Russian Federation. We found overall situation as stable: social programs are being implemented in full, unemployment is decreasing, construction of municipal facilities continues, problems with failures in the supply of spare parts, equipment and components are being solved. At the same time, the sanctions have affected the urban economy in completely different ways: while in some cities show significant negative effect, in others the impact of sanctions is insignificant. Cites face number of new challenges: disruption of supply chains, refusal to supply paid equipment, inability to find analogues of imported equipment with the necessary characteristics, rising prices for spare parts. components and construction materials, the rupture of established sales channels to unfriendly countries, a drop in municipal budget revenues, etc. The heads of the city administration work overtime to solve emerging problems, organize interaction between enterprises, establish and deepen business contacts with friendly countries, put forward proposals to improve the situation at the federal level. New tasks successfully solved, although it requires serious efforts. To respond to new challenges, we need a new, more decentralized and local-oriented style of public administration, a process of well-established feedback.
摘要:
本文介绍了对俄罗斯政府代表进行的深入访谈和问卷调查的结果,这些调查涉及制裁压力和COVID-19下的城市复原力。该调查是由IPEIRANEPA领土变化和城市发展中心于3月至5月进行的2023,俄罗斯联邦50多个城市的政府代表参加了调查。我们发现总体情况稳定:社会计划正在全面实施,失业率正在下降,市政设施建设仍在继续,备件供应失败的问题,设备和部件正在解决。同时,制裁以完全不同的方式影响了城市经济:虽然在一些城市表现出显著的负面影响,在其他方面,制裁的影响微不足道。城市面临着许多新的挑战:供应链的中断,拒绝提供有偿设备,无法找到具有必要特性的进口设备类似物,备件价格上涨。组件和建筑材料,向不友好国家建立的销售渠道破裂,市政预算收入下降,等。城市管理部门负责人加班加点解决新出现的问题,组织企业之间的互动,与友好国家建立和深化业务联系,提出改善联邦一级状况的建议。新任务成功解决,尽管这需要认真的努力。为了应对新的挑战,我们需要一个新的,更加分散和面向地方的公共行政风格,一个完善的反馈过程。
