Information modeling technologies in urban development of Russia and China

The subject of the study is a comparative analysis of the implementation of Information modeling technologies (TIM) in urban planning activities in Russia and China. Despite the global trend towards an increase in the introduction of information modeling (IM) technologies in construction, the advantages and difficulties of their application remain insufficiently studied in the context of comparative analysis. Most studies focus on the experiences of individual countries, while cross-national comparative studies are rarely conducted. The methodology of the work is based on the analysis of regulatory documents, government initiatives, as well as on the study of practices and approaches to the implementation of TIM in Russia and China. The paper uses methods of qualitative and quantitative analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of these approaches. The purpose of the study is to identify common features and main differences in approaches to the implementation of TIM in the Russian Federation and China, as well as to identify factors influencing the effectiveness of their application in urban planning. The focus is on studying the practices of both countries, assessing government and organizational support, as well as the impact of building standards and traditions. Based on the results obtained, recommendations have been formulated to improve the processes of TIM implementation in both countries. The scope of the research results includes improving the processes of implementing TIM in urban planning, developing recommendations to improve the efficiency of implementing digital technologies in the construction industry in Russia and China. The results can be useful for government agencies, construction companies, and organizations involved in the design and implementation of construction projects. The scientific novelty of the study is to conduct a cross-national comparative analysis of the introduction of information modeling technologies in urban development in Russia and China. Unlike existing research, the work focuses on a comprehensive assessment of the impact of the regulatory framework, government support and building traditions on the effectiveness of the application of TIM in urban planning. The similarities and differences in the application of TIM in the framework of urban development in the Russian Federation (RF) and the People's Republic of China (PRC) are considered. Both countries are actively implementing digital technologies in the construction industry, supporting this process at the state level. However, differences in the regulatory framework, the level of technical development and professional competence create distinctive conditions for the integration of TIM in each of these countries.
