Environmental impact assessment (OVOS) is a procedure which aims at supporting environmentally sound project solutions. Ten years ago the OVOS procedure was brought into action, and regulatory and legal framework of Russia has been changing significantly during this period. New Urban planning code was adopted; new approaches for experts’ reviews of urban planning as well as architectural and construction documentation were also formulated as part of the administrative reform implementation.

What are the major trends of RF legislation in the field of urban construction and economic activities? How does the new legislation influence the OVOS procedure? What mechanisms allow for providing environmentally sound solutions? The brochure covers all these questions and others related to the OVOS procedure.

The current publication is for a wide range of environmental experts and experts whose interests lay in the field of environmental protection and urban planning activities.
