Kazan in Detail
After a successful Melbourne, Australia World Urban Parks Partner Congress, we are excited to keep the international urban parks momentum going in Kazan.
Kazan is a Russian city and the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan. Geographically, Kazan is a crossroads for major trade routes, uniting Europe and Asia. It's a junction of civilizations and a meeting point for two cultures — East and West.
Urban policy is focused on organizing large-scale events. Each event generates fresh thinking and builds on existing expertise whilst also ensuring a valuable legacy: from the regeneration of urban areas to the development of tourist infrastructure.
Kazan’s is identified as a growing, dynamic city with significant opportunities for improved liveability, Kazan has already been placed in the top 10 most sustainably developed cities in the Russian Federation.
Since 2016 the Institute for Urban Development of the Republic of Tatarstan has been implementing the Program for the Development of Public Spaces, as a part of which more than 300 parks, embankments, pedestrian streets, public gardens and squares in all municipal districts of the region were improved. Another 60 sites and programs are planned to be developed in 2018/2019.
