Islam Makhachev criticizes chaotic construction projects in Dagestan

Islam Makhachev has once again drawn attention to what he calls the "chaotic construction" problem in Dagestan, particularly in Makhachkala. Seventeen days ago, during flooding in the region, Makhachev called on local leadership to address construction issues, stating that "Makhachkala has turned into one chaotic construction site." He recently reposted content from geographer Dmitry Koryukhin, a school teacher in Dagestan, who shared aerial photographs highlighting the urban development problems. Makhachev criticized the proliferation of low-quality residential complexes built closely together, as well as numerous unauthorized construction projects. The post notes this is part of a broader issue across Russia, where high-rise apartment buildings continue to be constructed despite stagnant or declining populations in many cities.
