Renovation can promote economic growth, attract investments, support small businesses on ground floors, and enhance infrastructure. The law strengthens the protection of private property, ensures voluntary participation, offers judicial protection in disputes, which can help reduce social tension during project implementation.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>What happened<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The draft law \u201cOn Urban Planning Renovation\u201d passed the final reading in the Legislative Chamber \u2014 124 votes \u201cfor\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>The principle of voluntariness: no one will be forced to participate. Agreements with owners must be notarized. <\/li>\n<li>The protection of private property is strictly guaranteed: no one can be deprived of their housing without a court decision or in an illegal manner.<\/li>\n<li>The project is subject to public discussion through the \u201cUrban Planning Renovation\u201d platform, the media, and local self-government bodies.<\/li>\n<li>To launch a renovation project, the consent of at least <strong>80%<\/strong> of the owners is required (in some cases).<\/li>\n<li>Within the framework of the first wave of renovations, it is planned to build about <strong>20 thousand<\/strong> apartments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What they say<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Deputy Minister of Justice Mahmud Istamov noted that the draft provides for notarized agreements and a high threshold for the consent of owners.<\/li>\n<li>The head of the Legislative Economy Department of the Ministry of Justice emphasized that the renovation will be carried out only in those zones that comply with the general plan, and will not affect protected or conservation zones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Context<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The demand for housing is substantially higher than the supply: around <strong>145,000 apartments<\/strong> are needed each year, but fewer were built\u2014about 60,000 annually during 2019-2023. Many houses\u20142-3 storeys, constructed before 1991\u2014have worn-out utilities and low housing standards. Renovation of the old housing stock is regarded as a priority.  <\/p>\n<p>The bill was presented to the president in April 2025, after discussions and two readings, it was adopted by the lower house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The document will now be reviewed by the Senate and forwarded to the President for signature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":8832,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sharing_image":[],"_sharing_image_fieldset":[],"pin_until":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2061],"tags":[2313,2068,2517,2467,2516],"class_list":["post-8836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-construction","tag-government","tag-housing-policy","tag-legislation","tag-urban-planning"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.0 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The draft law on urban planning renovation was approved by the Legislative Chamber and forwarded to the Senate &#8212;
