«The main factor of the introduction of the new regulations was to ensure full security of the population, as in the no rescue equipment, capable of quick evacuation of people from a height of over 50 m. So it appears that the failure of such high-rise buildings, in the future there is no possibility to guarantee the security of their owners», - said Vladimir Demin.
From March 1 have entered into force regional standards of construction design. This document restricted the section on altitude construction of residential buildings. So, in the zone of intensive urbanization (from the border of St. Petersburg to the road A-120) now banned to build houses above 16 floors.
The construction of high-rise residential buildings in Leningrad region causes a lack of social objects.
In the area there are more than 90 depressive settlements, schools and kindergartens in which simply empty . However such objects is lacking in a few areas, where there are enclaves of housing construction.
According to him, to correct the situation will help to norms of urban planning. «In the field of a lot of undeveloped areas, create a few hectares of high-rise housing enclaves, not covered by a social infrastructure, has no sense», - said the official.
