Islam Makhachev highlights urban development problems in Dagestan and Makhachkala

Islam Makhachev has again drawn attention to construction issues in Dagestan, specifically the chaotic building development in Makhachkala. Seventeen days ago, during regional flooding, Makhachev appealed to regional leadership to address construction problems, stating Makhachkala had become one chaotic construction site. Recently he reposted content from geographer Dmitry Koryukhin showing aerial photos of Makhachkala that illustrated urban planning failures. The post notes this reflects broader Russian issues with excessive residential complex construction despite stagnant or declining urban populations. Makhachev's advocacy on this social issue was praised in the commentary.
