He said that master development plans have been prepared for 22 Far Eastern cities and agglomerations, and similar work is being carried out for settlements in the Arctic.

“I propose to identify more than 200 large and small cities.

For each of them, its own master plan must be developed and implemented.

But in general, the development program should cover about 2 thousand settlements, including villages and towns,” he said during the announcement of his message to the Federal Assembly.

Putin also noted that all Russian regions should become more economically self-sufficient by 2030.
