The significance of this analytical work lies in its comprehensive and systemic perspective on developing public spaces in cities located in extreme environments \u2014 an approach often missing from standard urban improvement methodologies. The study identifies eight specific groups of northern cities and dozens of types of public spaces. Such typology enables more targeted infrastructure development solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"centerlab-p\">In 2025, the research received an award at the Golden Section festival organized by the Moscow Union of Architects in partnership with the Union of Architects of Russia. \u201cThroughout its history, our company has invested part of its profits into independent research. We are pleased that the Russian North has been receiving increasing attention in recent years, and we sought to contribute analytically to its development,\u201d noted Ketavan Khelaia, Co-Founder and CEO of CENTER Lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"centerlab-p\">In spring 2023, another study by the Laboratory \u2014 \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/tatlin.ru\/lib\/kompleksnaya_ocenka_potenciala_razvitiya_g_norilska\">Comprehensive Assessment of the Development Potential of Norilsk<\/a>\u201d \u2014 was also added to the TATLIN collection.
