Reconstruction of the square “White flowers” will be dedicated to memory of a Tatar writer Abdurakhman Absalyamov.

The project of a children’s park “Continent” consists in reconstruction of the territory for children’s and family recreation. It will be located between a large transport junction and residential districts.

Rustam Minnikhanov was also told about the square “Molodezhny” in Dekabristov street, development of “Lebyazhie” forest park, “Sosnovaya roscha” park, Uritsky park and a few other projects.

Rustam Minnikhanov approved all projects and required not to start reconstruction works without approval of the Department of architecture and city planning and members of the Expert council.
