Short version. The full edition of this factory (14 September 2026), with history, geography, practical examples and annotated sources, is available in Russian. Full edition (Russian)
In simple terms
Instead of a superficial “who is best” ranking, the factory compares population, climate, economy, powers of government, settlement density, infrastructure and money, then explains why a practice worked, what its transfer would require and what could prevent it.
Who it helps
Leaders of countries, regions, cities, districts and villages and their assistants, development agencies, universities, investors, NGOs and project teams.
Questions you can bring
- Which territories are similar to ours?
- Where has the problem of water, transport, energy, housing or jobs already been solved?
- What can be transferred and what depends on another country's laws and budget?
What you receive
- a passport of the home territory
- a justified set of analogue territories
- a comparison table of indicators and methods
- practice cards with direct links and a transferability assessment
How quality is checked
Indicators are brought to one method and period, every practice has primary sources and independent confirmation, and transferability is rated as applicable, applicable after adaptation, or not applicable.
Three example requests
Village
“Find rural areas with a similar climate that created a reliable water supply, and explain what a pilot here would require.”
City
“Compare our public transport with five comparable cities and prepare three realistic scenarios.”
Region or country
“Show where similar regions created new industrial jobs without worsening air quality.”
