planned in the capital of Tatarstan in the Year of the water protection zones,
what will be the general construction plan of Kazan like, how it will change
the transport system of the capital republic and how citizens can make their
own contribution to the development of the city.
Thus, a
resident of the capital of Tatarstan Olga Petrova wondered how she can take
part in the development strategy 2030, and where to send wishes. "And most
importantly, how the wishes of the citizens will be worked out by municipality,
the Executive Committee", - O.Petrova said.
"I am
very happy that my call to take an active part in the drafting of Kazan
Development Strategy was heard, and people began to think about this important
issue - said Ilsur Metshin in response. - I have always been convinced that active
and indifferent people live in our city, who can work together to do things and
to think about the public interest".
The Mayor stressed
that the views of the citizens are very important. "This is not an empty
pathos, this is really the case that everyone's opinion is important. It will
be heard and carefully considered, all the good proposes will be included in
the "Strategy 2030". As for where to send comments and suggestions: you
can send your suggestions to the official portal of the city. A little later we
will open a separate web page devoted to Kazan Development Strategy ", -
said the head of the city.
Another resident
of Kazan Adelina continued the theme of the strategy of socio-economic
development. She wondered why the program is designed for such a long term.
"How the strategy is realizable? - Adeline asked the Mayor. - All very
rapidly changing in Kazan. Does planning lose its relevance for such a long
time?".
The Mayor,
in turn, noted that Kazan really changed dramatically in the recent time.
"But these changes have been made possible precisely because it was a
dream at first. Without it, we would not have achieved such a transformation. The
celebration of Kazan Millennium, World Summer Universiade, the World
Championship in water sports helped us. But we cannot rest on our laurels.
Therefore, we should try to model our future. The more precisely we will imagine
and elaborate our dreams, the more aspects of city development we will take
into account, the more likely we will be able to move to a new purpose and do
Kazan more comfortable place to live. Therefore, be active in the discussion"-
the Mayor invited all the residents of the city to discuss the concept.
It is worth
noting that today's online conference is a premiere release in a series of
meetings that TatCenter.ru portal started. It is assumed that the heads of the
large municipalities and cities of the republic will become the guests of the
program.
