Urban Governance in Russia: The Case of Moscow Territorial Development and Housing Renovation

Marina Khmelnitskaya and Emmirosa Ihalainen

Europe-Asia Studies, 2021, vol. 73, issue 6, 1149-1175

Abstract: This essay considers how the tensions inherent to authoritarian politics structure urban governance in the city of Moscow. The focus here is on urban development policy and the housing renovation programme introduced in 2017. The essay demonstrates a flexible governance arrangement that responds to the interests and ideas of the country’s leadership and involves city-level bureaucratic decision-making, the accommodation of economic interests and expert opinion, and consultations with the public. Such consultations have recently become more significant because of intensive protests paired with the city administration’s belief in participatory urban governance.
