The growth of capital will be slowing down in the next 3 decades, Minskgrad chief architect Alyaksadnr Akentsyeu said. At the same time, Minsk satellite cities will be developing faster. The population living within Minsk ring road #2 will increase by 110 thousand people. The construction of Vyaliki Kamen will result in the population growth by 150 thousand people.
Since the centre of the capital is already a dense settlement, new houses will be built along the second ring road, on the territories of former enterprises and military towns.
Minsk’s 2 millionth citizen is expected to be born at the end of 2019.
