Crisis of identity
• The city should be “the second capital of Russia and the most
comfortable city in the country”
• Another strategic goal is to become
“The leader of the Baltic sea region”
Strategy-2030: Good aims without clear instruments

Crisis of identity
• Only joint projects with neighboring Leningradskaya oblast are
mentioned
• No certain plans about the integration in the Baltic region. Big projects -
Rail Baltika and Transport corridor between St.Petersburg and Nordic
countries – are not included in the Strategy
• EU cities like Tallinn, Helsinki and Riga are considered
only as touristic and transport destinations, but not as strategic partners.

The summary
Lack of political will to realize new
ambitious projects in the
city
Local expert community unable to
change the strategy because
of “vertical”
administrative practices
Geographical position and
European potential
underestimated by the
administration
Those who stand for the European
choice for SPbdon’t have strong
political representation
