| Title of the article | «Preventive» reconstruction in Kazan |
| Abstract. | Problem statement. The article reveals an actual problem for Kazan which is an assessment of the results of the extensive renovation that began in 2000-ies, in the central part of it. Results. Not everything that was done today clearly had a positive impact on the city environment. The main task of any reconstruction is to improve the quality of streets, squares, etc. sites of the city. A special place is given to examples of changing city environment, resulting in unnecessarily changing parameters of streets, squares, scale buildings and complexes. We can consider such examples as the Central Square of Kazan (Tukaya Square) and adjoining streets, Butlerov, Petersburg. Decision-making on placing such large objects as RPF for the Republic of Tatarstan, trade and entertainment complex «Ring» was hasty, without a proper impact assessment, without taking into account the prospects of development and preservation of the historic environment. Conclusions. As a result, the city has lost its architectural and town-planning appearance of Central Square, lost at all times the annular car traffic due to the building of the mall «Ring», allowing this area is popularly called «Ring». |
