Whether it is necessary to a city "gorplan"?
One of these days our newspaper has published message Peterburgkomstata
About results of job of the industry and other spheres of economy for
Last year.
To comment on these results it would be possible one phrase: from
2001 we have the right were to expect bolshego... Today the developed
The comment to Vladimir NOVIKOVU gives to our observer
The vice-governor - the chairman of committee of economic development,
The industrial policy and trade Sergey VETLUGIN.
- Sergey Jurevich, for you economic indicators of the past
Year could not be unexpected, you it is as obliges constant them
Trace. Therefore I will ask about other - this recession of rates was
Casual or natural?
- In economy seldom there are accidents, is more exact - they happen in
To the politician, but changes are reflected in economy, for example
The governments, acts of terrorism like American, Asian or
The Argentina crises. But in stable conditions accuracy
The economic forecast should be not less than 80 percent.
Answering your question, I will tell - essential delay of rates
Growth of economy of Petersburg past year casual was not.
- That is the committee headed by you about all foreknew.
You somehow could affect a situation?
- If did not influence, instead of delay of rates of growth had
Now recession. I understand, townspeople have the right to ask us: why
Committee, knowing about increase of unfortunate trends in economy,
Has not managed to break a situation to the best? Because economy
Such megacity as Petersburg, has huge inertia, it,
As the ocean liner, - having typed a course, cannot sharply replace a course,
Even if it conducts on a bank.
- At us a wrong economic course? But after all two years
Successively it provided to a city is unprecedented high rates
Economic growth.
- If to continue sea comparisons, a correct course not
Happens rectilinear, it consists in a complex of maneuvers.
Let's recollect, at the expense of what the economy in 1999 - 2000 grew
Years? Only for the bill importozameshchenija. But to autumn of the past year
We have entered into a phase of saturation of the market the domestic goods, and in
Scales of all Russia. Simultaneously falling oil and
The gas prices adhered to them for a foreign market has led to a delay
And even to a response of some orders of oil industry workers for production of the Petersburg
The enterprises. What to do? The adviser of president Andrey Illarionov
Advises once again to depreciate rouble, having urged on thereby
To the politician importozameshchenija. In any measure this course divides
The Central Bank. But I cannot agree with such recipes, therefore
What is it will lead to falling and without that low vital
Level of citizens, including Petersburgers.
- In your opinion, the city can oppose something
To the factors operating in the all-Russian scale?
- If Petersburg waited, when its problems will be solved by the federal
The centre, we would live at level of Adygea or Buryatiya. Actually
Petersburg develops economic recipes, which
Are then applied in country scales.
- Also what you offer?
- Not applying for originality, I will answer, which all
For a long time it is known: the city needs to create an investment climate,
Which would provide inflow of capitals from all Russia and because of
Boundary.
- Really, stereotyped. The Purpose is clear, and here is how
To create the mechanism which will provide to economy inflow of investments?
- Over it now also it is worked. In what the main problem? When
The control system of a city was created, in the country dominated
Idea of the pure market. Actually the pure market, differently -
Wild capitalism, in the developed countries has come to an end together with Great
Depression. The economy requires planning. But at us is not present
Planning bodies.
- And to whom also that they will plan, after all economy at us
Still market, each firm lives, how can?
- Certainly. And for this reason planning is necessary in
City scales. For example, Seaport some years
Increases volumes of transfer of cargoes.
Accordingly streams of cargoes increase, including
Transported by motor transport. Throughput of roads not
Suffices. Losses grow, investment appeal of the same
Port decreases. Now in an operative mode is under construction
The traffic intersection on the prospectus of Strikes, a problem will be
It is partially solved. But it also has arisen that was not at
Cities of a coherent plan of development which all it would provide.
Example from other sphere - a problem of old buildings. Their degree
Deterioration accrues. Repair capacities will be necessary to a city,
The special technics and materials. It is necessary to create especially
Favorable investment climate for creation and development of firms,
Which will work in this sphere. Similarly - it is necessary
To involve investors in sphere of service of housing and communal services.
Already now it is necessary to plan, what tax or other privileges
The city can give to these sectors, in what they will manage
To the budget, for example, in 2004, what part of jobs we can
To switch on in the city order and what to leave to the discretion of the market.
I can give an example still - not taken place project united
Shipyards which would allow the Petersburg ship builders
To make technological break and sharply to raise profitability.
It has broken, because there was no city plan, which
Has provided all stages of creation of this shipyard. And after all it was a question about
Investments into hundred millions dollars.
- That is the new State Planning Committee, more precisely, "gorplan" is necessary to a city?
- I in it do not have doubts. Certainly, this "gorplan" not
Other problem - the analysis will have directive functions, at it
Development tendencies, coordination of efforts of private concerns and a city on
The decision of central problems, the forecast of expenses and incomes of the budget,
Private sector, inhabitants at least on two, and later and for five years
Forward. Then we will know in advance, what rates of development in us
Will be, for example, in first half of 2003 when at us will be
The periods of accumulation of investments, when - peaks of return investment
Investments.
- You will know only the forecast or can influence on
Situation?
- I agree with the old slogan knowledge - force and would add,
That ignorance is a poverty. Attraction of investments demands
Complex of conditions: the earth, premises is necessary to the investor,
Power capacities, engineering maintenance, roads, communication,
Qualified workers and so on. Knowing, in what a problem of that
Or other investment project and in whose conducting it is,
We can easily solve any question, we can purposefully
To involve investments at own discretion. Today - in
Building of three-stars hotels, tomorrow - in
Instrument making.
- Though we were beyond the set subject - comments by a year
Past, I think, it was interesting to readers. Ten years we
We live from the budget to the budget, not knowing, that year future to us
Prepares.
- I will add, that in process of development of planning townspeople not
Will simply know prospects, but also the nobility who is responsible
Performance of each point of the plan.
Then we can catch up with the large European on a standard of living
Cities, which neither market elements, nor macroeconomic factors
Do not prevent to equip with modern conveniences and provide comfort to the inhabitants.
Vladimir Novikov.
