The first major event for Kazan was the 2013 Universiade, which,
according to the organizers, became the best in history, the head of the city
reminded. Large-scale preparations were carried out, investments in the amount
of more than 220 billion rubles were allocated for the development of
infrastructure.
After the Universiade, Kazan held the FINA World Aquatics Championships
and the World Cup for the first time in the history of Russia, the Mayor reminded.
Each of these events pushed the development of infrastructure of the city.
“The events take place for two or three weeks, and the preparation takes
years. But after them there is both a tangible legacy and an intangible one.
The first one is new venues that residents use for their own comfort. And the
intangible is, for example, a healthy lifestyle”, - the Mayor said.
