– Some of my friends have experienced the pandemic in Arzamas, Vyksa other, – explained the Chairman of the Public chamber Commission on regional development and local government Andrey Maksimov. – From Arzamas after the pandemic will come back to live in a big city, but in Vyksa can stay and live forever.
Because Vyksa involved in projects of a civilized urban space, it hosts the famous Art-Ovrag (festival of urban culture), has its own “urban action”, the coffee shop, have something to do in your free time. Arzamas, according to Maximov, only dreams.
So for those who want to shift the trend in favor of choice for residence of small towns, it is worth remembering the real connectivity of the site with other cities, first and foremost, transport. If the small city is over 4 hours away by car, train and plane flight, it is likely that he, as a place of residence can not compete.
Counting on the move, it is necessary to prepare your site to the “15-minute accessibility mode”, I’m sure Maximov. That is, to store, coffee shop, telecommunication offices were within a 15-minute walk from the house.
This village, in type, rather “German” than the typical Russian, said Andrei Maximov, and noted the importance of modernization of rail, road and water communications, social infrastructure development and nenalezeny lifestyle.
the Sociologist Alexei Firsov stood up for Arzamas: no need to associate names and brands with flowing human sympathy, some will prefer Arzamas, Vyksa.
And sociologist Igor Zadorin said, and against the idea of a “German village”: “In fact, it is necessary to create a “new Russian village”. Lure in German village can result in the fact that people will prefer a real German village in Germany, but not its image in Russia.
Zadorin believes that a massive trend of preference of living in small towns and villages will not. “A lot of Metropolitan culture, they are attracted to drive and active, rich in emotional experience life in the big city, he said. The values of ecology and calm life can’t always outweigh”.
In small towns and villages, in his opinion, it is also necessary to create an atmosphere of goodwill and acceptance by the local community, which is still quite cautious, if not wary, meets residents of large cities.
Very important, he said, to return to the big city, it can also stimulate the willingness for a long time to move to a small town. But all this, in his opinion, a good first experience in the test drive mode.
