Housing Policy as Tool of Space Development of Regions

The article tries to develop an adaptive scenario for housing policy implementation in different types of Russian regions as a basis of the research the authors took the concept of grading factors that impact space development in accordance with current challenges and conditions.

The following types of regions were shown: highly-urbanized, de-populated, industrially developing, agricultural and remote, recreating and tourist. Adaptive scenarios of housing policy for different types of regions and practical recommendations were elaborated. Methodological approaches to estimating efficiency of housing policy realization were put forward with regard to adaptive scenarios and specific space development of each type of region. The research highlights the importance of comprehensive approach to elaboration of housing policy as a tool of space development.
