I.Metshin: "Housing construction for young professionals is our forte"

(Kazan, KZN.RU, February 11, by Albert Murtazin). Young scientists are very important for such a student city as Kazan, and its administration should pay special attention to them. This opinion was expressed by the Mayor of the capital of Tatarstan Ilsur Metshin during his visit to the new apartment of the family of young scientists, Adel Fakhrutdinov and Gulnara Sabirova.

The young family bought the apartment from the young scientists quota in the framework of the "Housing for the Residents" program. It is worth noting that Gulnara Sabirova is a Kazan University assistant rector and Adel Fakhrutdinov is a candidate of technical sciences and assistant professor of the KGASU department of metal structures and structural testing. The young researcher is engaged in the development and improvement of light-weight arch structures of steel thin-walled elements. According to him, such designs are very much in demand in agriculture for the construction of sheds and similar structures. A. Fakhrutdinov holds 12 patents; he is a winner of several national competitions, a 2010 Mayor of Kazan Scholar and a 2011-2012 Government of the Russian Federation Scholar.

"We realize that housing construction for young professionals and young scientists is our forte," said Ilsur Metshin. He also noted that the city should be attractive to young professionals: comfortable and safe, with high standards of health care and education and a large number of kindergartens, parks and gardens. According to the mayor, the city administration will seek to achieve this goal.
