Ways of Environmental Improvement of Urban Recreational Zones on the Example of the Uritsky Park

This paper deals with the problem of ecological improvement of urban recreational zones. This problem is currently also relevant in Kazan. Despite the significant number of city parks and squares in the city of Kazan, their condition had not been given sufficient attention. The situation radically changed in 2016 after the announcement in the Republic of Tatarstan of the year "Parks and squares". The result of this program was the creation of initiative groups for the development of concepts of public areas. According to the developed program, 27 out of 130 green zones in the territory of Kazan were subject to renovation and reconstruction. Among them was the Uritsky park. In 2016-2017 the landscaping project of the given territory was implemented. The final project for the reconstruction of the Uritsky Park was developed by the Kazan architectural bureau – Evolution. During the implementation of the project in this area, a number of mistakes were made that do not allow it to be classified as an ecological improvement. This paper presents a new elaborate version of the improvement. The proposed project envisages overcoming some of the negative consequences of the previously implemented project. The proposed project is based on the already implemented project solutions. This will avoid additional costs.
