In 2022, the All-Russian competition for the development of a master plan of Yakutsk was held. The first place in it was taken by a Consortium led by the "Institute of the General Plan of Moscow". The operator of the competition was the Agency for Strategic Development "CENTER".

The basis of the terms of reference for the participants of the competition for the development of the master plan of the city was the research "Comprehensive assessment of the prerequisites for urban development of the city district "city of Yakutsk".

On the territory of the Republic, not only cities, but also villages are transformed, these are spaces in which a unique identity is revealed, which tells about the culture and history of the area.
