Introduction
The draft Strategic Plan of socio-economic development of Chisinau till 2020
(main issues) was elaborated during October-December 2005 by the task group of
specialists from the National Agency for Regional Development, National Research
and Project Institute “Urbanproiect”, Center for Strategic Studies and Reforms,
Project Institute “Chisinauproiect”, Habitat Moldova Center, Institute of
Economy of ASM, Business Consulting Institute, European Institute, Technical
University of Moldova with consultations of specialists from the city Mayor’s
Office, Ministry of Economy and Ministry of Informational Development.
While assessing the initial state and problems of city development, there
were taken into account the results of previous stages of work on the general
plan of Chisinau’s development – analytical (Studiu diagnostic, 2003) and on its
concept (Concepþia planului urbanistic general, 2004) undertaken within
framework of the UNDP MOL 01/004 project “Moldova fermecãtoare” and approved
through the decision of the Municipal Council of Chisinau as of April 6, 2004.
During the elaboration process of the draft plan, its ideas, conclusions and
proposals became object of a series of discussions, roundtables and opinion
polls, as well as publications in mass media and TV/radio broadcasts.
The uniform approach of research and project organizations engaged in the
plan preparation in collaboration with the Chisinau Mayor’s Office was ensured
through “Methodological recommendations for elaboration of the Strategic Plan”
worked out considering experience of similar works in Central European and CIS
cities (Riga, Prague, Bucharest, Sofia, Moscow, Saint-Petersburg, Rostov-upon-Don
and Novosibirsk). For all these cities, understanding of the city strategy as a
scientifically grounded system of assessment of key problems, goals and
priorities of future development of the city based on its resource potential and
coordination of interests of authorities, business community and population, is
generally accepted. The task is being practically set to use the strategic plan
as a platform for such a tripartite partnership, common understanding and
uniform position as regards the main issue – what the city has to be and what
actions has to be consequently undertaken for its sustainable socio-economic
development.
