The authors emphasize the importance of an integrated approach to solving problems related to the standard of living, and emphasize the need for interaction between different levels of government and civil society institutions. This makes the book relevant not only for the Ulyanovsk region, but also for other regions of Russia facing similar challenges. The author's style and collective approach to writing the book make it accessible and understandable to a wide audience. In. In. Kuznetsov, as an experienced researcher and practitioner, managed to combine the opinions and ideas of various specialists, which gives the book versatility and depth.
