Forum of strategists is organized in St. Petersburg since 2002 and became the main site for discussion of methods and mechanisms of strategic planning of cities and regions of the Russian Federation. This year, issues of implementation of national projects were somehow tackled at every section of the Forum.
Stepan Zemtsov moderated the round table “National projects and public demand” dedicated to discussion of public attitude in certain regions and municipalities towards development priorities, accordance of these priorities to scientific vision on true wellbeing and real progress, reflection of these priorities in national projects and strategic documents.
Participants arrived at a conclusion that federal documents rather take into account global trends and goals and regional and municipal strategies should focus on interests of local citizens. At the same time, national projects have not been completely localized across territories and local authorities and population have often poor understanding of tasks and opportunities set by national projects.
