Kazan is the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan, a major industrial and cultural center in the Volga region, one of the oldest cities of Russia. A unique combination of Muslim and Christian cultures and advantageous geographic location makes the city a popular attraction for domestic and international tourism.
In 2013 Kazan will hosts the World summer Universiade games. We want our city to be not only the most sports, but also the greenest city of Russian Federation.
In 2009 the Children's Center "Tankodrom" and the Institute of ecology of Tatarstan Academy of Sciences made an agreement with the «Green Map» organization. In fact, this is the first project in the Russian Federation.
In the first stage we made the Green map of "Tankodrom" district. Large park area, playgrounds, outdoor swimming pool, stands of drinking water, container sites for solid waste collection are shown on this map.
The project was presented on regional and All-Russian contests, such as «Top 50 Innovative Ideas for the Republic of Tatarstan», «Youth. Science. Culture», «National property of Russia», «ECO-2009», «The future of a strong Russia is in high technologies», on the All-Russian Olympiad on ecology.
In 2011 Oleg Shamaev and Aigul Khafizova have made "Water map of Kazan city". The project became a winner of the "Russian National Junior Water Prize". Oleg and Aigul will represent Russian Federation at the Stockholm Junior Water Prize in Sweden in August 2011 with this project.
