Creation of Urban Parks and Centers

Description:

The city’s plan is to open an urban park (9 in total) and an urban center (9 in total) in each city district to promote social, cultural and active lifestyle and bring up a healthy generation.

Today, the city has three opened urban parks with themed grounds comprising skateparks, parkour tracks, workout structures, event zones, street football fields, basketball courts, dancing floors, etc.

The urban center concept aims to:

• create a place to bring together all types of street sports and urban
  cultures under one roof;
• enable children, teens and young people to engage in what they like all year round;
• unite the youth engaged in street sports and urban cultures to share leisure and activities;
• provide a place where to hold international festivals, competitions, educational forums;
• create an academy of street cultures.

Expected Results:

•  District residents will have free access to the park and center facilities.
• Favorable conditions will be created for health promotion and recreational opportunities for al categories of the population with regard to their age and interests.
• Bringing together youth street sports and urban cultures will encourage and promote physical, creative, spiritual and intellectual development of children, teenagers and young people.
• The youth engaged in street sports and urban cultures will have a place for joint active pastime and
  shared interests.
• There will be modern places for holding and hosting international festivals, competitions, educational forums, etc.

Current Status:

Three urban parks are open in three city districts.

Two urban parks are getting prepared for opening, which is planned for autumn 2021.

At least four more urban parks are planned to be open.

The concept and strategy for creation of nine district urban centers as modern magnets for young people are
under development.
