The 12th issue of speech: is about affordable housing, a subject which is important for Russia and most European countries and a phenomenon which, following a lengthy lull in interest in it, is currently undergoing a real revival. This issue of our journal will also examine problems and prospects relating to the development of affordable housing in Russia.
