Programme
Summary
Small cities amount to 2/3 of Russian cities and 25% of the Russian population. They share common challenges: shortage of jobs, low wages, gradual depopulation, decline of the social sphere. At the same time, small towns act as keepers of many truly Russian traditions - spiritual, cultural and business. The round table is aimed to discuss the best practice of small towns’ development and revival used by municipal government, business and the public.
