We need to continue strengthening severely damaged buildings with funds from the budget and rehabilitating areas of the city with historical and tourist potential. At the same time, we need to create a special program to stimulate the construction industry and financial institutions in the process. By using budget funding and private investment effectively, we could solve the problem of thousands of damaged, demolished, and unfinished constructions.
Our approach would be as follows:
1. Relocating the railway from the existing area. This would make the surrounding environment safer and healthier and the real estate more attractive to investors. We would lift restrictions in the vicinity of the railway, making construction and development possible and solving the problem of damaged homes.
2. Creating and implementing targeted programs such as New Life in Old Tbilisi to build new houses on the site of damaged buildings in Tbilisi. These programs would assist and encourage builders to complete several unfinished constructions and solve residents' housing problems.
3. Introducing development regulations in damaged areas facing emergencies. These plans would create projects for investors to build on the site of damaged homes. In developing each project, City Hall would need to determine the specific amount of development and the parameters that would make the projects attractive to investors and serve the interests of the city.
4. Continuing to refurbish severely damaged multi-apartment buildings with funds from the budget.
5. Changing legislation to allow the refurbishment of existing homes or the construction of news ones on privately owned plots only with the written approval of City Hall in areas of the city with single-family homes that are damaged and whose residents are facing difficult living conditions.
