OREANDA-NEWS. May 30, 2011. "Affordable housing" National Project must be implemented in Kyiv to the maximum by the efforts of central and local government, President Viktor Yanukovych said during presentation of the Kyiv Development Strategy until 2025.

The President said the problem of providing Kyiv inhabitants with housing is one of the most important for the capital. "The planned 30% increase of the current level of housing provision in 15 years is not sufficient, but it is still a very ambitious goal, which will require hard work to achieve," Viktor Yanukovych said.

According to the President, another important part of the Kyiv Development Strategy should be the housing communal reform reinforced, particularly creating competitive environment on the communal services market, involvement of private capital in the upgrading of communal infrastructure, and moving to the commercially reasonable communal tariffs.

Of course, added Viktor Yanukovych, the Kyiv Development Strategy presented today would be updated. And public opinion should be a key factor here.
