Most of the precast building structures were planned to sustain not more that approximately 50 year life span. After the ideological bankruptcy and the economical collapse of the Soviet empire the region inherited the aging low quality massive housing sector and urban framework dedicated for the centrally planned society. Currently the districts have to be adapted to the new needs of the capitalist society and new free market agendas that came together with the integration to EU processes.
