Abstract
Russia is on not easy way of changing urban planning system since 2004. If there are any progress? Perm Master Plan is really unusual document for Russia. Singularity of the plan is not because it’s bad or good. But because of decisions proposed in Plan weren't being accepted in Russia for long decades, and paying special attention to human scale objects of the urban environment still causes misunderstanding or the relation to it as to any ''shamanism''. Does Perm have prospects to implement its Plan? The question arose because it’s very probable if Russia will dive into new reform of urban planning system. The State still appoints a volume of housing square meters construction as a starting point for urban planning.
