Undoubtedly, industrialization has brought many benefits to humanity. One of the main advantages is the possibility of instant information exchange and search. Yet, in its pursuit of urbanization, governments forget the most important factor – society, people they are responsible for.

Organizers of the Gaidar Forum: “The Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration” (RANEPA), The Gaidar Institute for Economic Policy (Gaidar Institute) and the Association of Innovative Regions of Russia (AIRR).
