Of the total amount of housing commissioned, 63.7 thousand square meters are in rural settlements, which is 12.3% of the total.
The implementation of housing projects contributes not only to improving the living conditions of the villagers, but also to increasing the attractiveness of villages for young professionals and families. Creating a comfortable living environment is an important factor in the sustainable development of rural areas and the preservation of human resources.
