Sergeyenko recalled that the socio-economic development program for Belarus for 2026-2030, approved by the All-Belarusian Peoplechr("39")s Assembly, identifies the creation of a high-quality and comfortable living environment as one of the seven key priorities.

According to the head of the Belarusian delegation, the future of urban development lies in the development of energy-saving technologies, the implementation of modern eco-friendly engineering systems, and innovative approaches to building design.

"Belarus is actively developing the concept of sustainable cities, where energy-efficient buildings harmoniously blend with green spaces and parks, as well as thoughtful landscaping. One proven solution to the housing issue in the country is the development of rental housing," he emphasized.
