Leaflet “20 years of the Strategic Plan of St. Petersburg”

On December 1, 1997 the planning document of a new type – the Strategic Plan of St. Petersburg was adopted in St. Petersburg. For the first time in Russia, the communicative planning approach was used: over 1000 stakeholders were involved in discussions, organizational structures for the Strategic Plan were set up, public discussions and polling were held, foreign experience was analyzed, and strategic planning experience accumulated previously was summarized. 

Methodological and organizational support for development and implementation of the document was carried out by the Project Office for the Strategic Plan of St. Petersburg, specially established by the order of the Governor of St. Petersburg on the basis of the International Center for Social and Economic Research "Leontief Centre".

The Strategic Plan of St. Petersburg was adopted by the General Council, with all 143 members having signed the Declaration.

The revival of the historical city center was one of the main points of the Strategic Plan of St. Petersburg.
