Pozycja Reality vs Regulation: Informal Practices of Spatial Development in Krasnodar, Russia(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2023) Karaselnikova Maria; Maltseva Daria; Iskusov Nikita; Fadeeva Ekaterina; Mardanov Linar; Pisareva Maria; Kharitonov Mikhail; Elkina ElizavetaIn the research environment, informal urban development has traditionally been studied in the cities of the Global South. However, in the Eastern European context informal urban development differs as land use regulation goes through the process of post-socialist transformation. Krasnodar is one of the biggest and fastest growing cities in Russia where informal construction practices and bottom-up approaches in spatial redevelopment are widely spread despite the strict regulation of housing construction and precise tools for identification of informality. Present work is a step towards the discovery of this phenomenon. In the spotlight we put the exploration of inner synergetic inconsistency of legal relations, connecting economic, institutional, demographic, and sociopolitical context to understand the contradiction between formal and informal urban life. The research methods include spatial and regulatory documents analyses, in-depth interviews with different collective actors (city administration, activists, experts in urban development, locals living in informal). The core of the research relates to the machinery of the conflict behind the legalization process. Findings of this work illustrate a number of reasons behind the spread of informal settlements in Krasnodar and their role in urban development. While administrative power does not seek compromise with locals and migrants, the mistrust of others embodies itself as unguided and spontaneous urban development.Pozycja The Right to Housing: Differentiation of Practices in implementing Resettlement of Emergency Housing Stock Policy in Arkhangelsk(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2023) Iskusov NikitaThe collapse of state socialism and turn toward neoliberalism have led to a reduction of state support for industries, investments into science and military activities causing a structural crisis in the Russian North. Associated with the crises outmigration was aggravated by ageing and natural population decline (Eberstadt 2011) leading to depopulation and loss of social control over territories in the Russian Arctic except for the oil and gas provinces (Heleniak 2017). But the state policy has retained the declaration of power in the field of housing policy. Abandoned infrastructures and declining settlements are not solely ‘monuments’ of state socialism; they are also evidence of the current austerity, infrastructural underfunding, and the changing priorities of the Russian state (Bennett 2020). Moreover, depopulation, decay, and abandonment are not endemic to the Russian Far North but may be found in other parts of the Arctic (Heleniak, Turunen, Wang 2020) due to the novel reterritorialization of economic and political power that entails the ‘departure’ of capital and the state (Dzenovska 2020). Power is the same resource as infrastructure.Shrinkage and abandonment are spatially unequal (Mallah 2015). Also, power resources are unevenly distributed. In the current contribution, we focus on the distribution of power resources in a polarised urban space in the field of housing policy in the case of Arkhangelsk, Russia. State policy declares a monopoly on regulation in the field of housing policy. Against this background, we examine that practices in politics are differentiated and can be expressed by different actors through ‘nondecision’. This leads to a government acting as a situational tactic rather than a strategy. And the very notion of power is not limited to local government.
