Relevance of the topic The share of low-rise apartment buildings and dilapidated houses in the city of Irkutsk is about 6% (739 square meters). It covers 280 hectares of the city territory. Whereas the territories available for housing are over and the only one way to satisfy the constantly growing demand for housing is reconstruction of low-rise districts. Problems Russian law determines a special procedure for reconstruction of the territories occupied by dilapidated and set to demolition buildings. It includes a public auction for the right to develop a district. This right is given by the local government and determines the terms and shares of the stakeholders.
