RBCC International Property and Construction Forum
27 May 2008

International Property and Construction Forum
St Petersburg.
RBCC RBCC held a very successful event on 27 May in Russia's Nothern capital – the second annual Property and Construction Forum. Over 100 delegates attended the event, including the First Deputy Chairman of the Committee
for Investments and Strategic Projects of the St Petersburg City Administration, Roman Starovoit, and the UK Consul General in St Petersburg, William Elliot. RBCC Executive Director, Stephen Dalziel, chaired the opening session. The Forum raised a large number of questions and vigorous debate on all aspects of property and construction, both in St Petersburg and beyond. For many, the most exciting of many fascinating presentations was that by Soren Svare, Head of the St Petersburg office of ARUP, who threw down the challenge to architects, builders and all those engaged in the construction industry to come up with sustainable and ecologicallyfriendly buildings. RBCC would like to thank all those who took part so actively in the Forum, and especially the sponsors: KPMG, Ancor, ARUP, Chadbourne & Parke LLP and Pepeliaev, Goltsblat & Partners.

Около 100 делегатов посетили мероприятие, включая первого заместителя председателя Комитета по инвестициям и стратегическим проектам Санкт-Петербурга, Романа Старовойта, и Генерального консула Великобритании в Санкт-Петербурге, Уильяма Эллиота. Исполнительный директор РБТП, Стивен Диэл, выступал в качестве председателя вступительной сессии. Форум вызвал оживленную дискуссию по различным аспектам сектора недви-жимости, как в Петербурге, так и в других городах. Многим запомнится выступление Сорена Сваре, главы Петербургского офиса компании ARUP, который призвал своих коллег – архитекторов, строителей и всех вовлеченных в сферу недвижимости – уделять больше внимания экологичному и устойчивому строительству. РБТП хотела бы поблагодарить всех тех, кто принял участие в форуме и наших особенно спонсоров – компании KPMG, Ancor, ARUP, Chadbourne & Parke LLP and Pepeliaev, Goltsblat & Partners.
