DEVELOPMENT OF AN ORGANIZATIONAL AND ECONOMIC MECHANISM FOR MANAGING THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOW-RISE HOUSING: THE RUSSIAN CASE OF DEVELOPING REGIONAL PROGRAMS FOR VILLAGES AND SMALL CITIES

To develop and substantiate an organizational and economic mechanism for managing the development of low-rise housing construction (LHC) as a tool for creating effective regional housing programs. The study analyzes regulatory acts, scientific works, and official reports to design a six-block mechanism covering coordination, project management, performance indicators, implementation stages, evaluation, and regional adaptation. Housing policies in small cities and rural settlements often suffer from fragmented regulation and a lack of comprehensive regional LHC programs. This study addresses the need for a systemic mechanism that links housing development with social goals and territorial characteristics, improving the effectiveness of public housing policy. The implementation of the proposed mechanism creates the foundation for managed expansion of low-rise housing construction, focusing on improved affordability, energy efficiency, and housing quality. It also contributes to achieving social outcomes and sustainable regional development. The study enriches the theoretical understanding of regional housing policy management by systematizing economic and organizational components into a coherent model. It provides practical recommendations for authorities to design and implement LHC programs that align with socio-economic priorities and regional development strategies.
