The head of Chuvashia presented a large-scale plan for updating Cheboksar for the 560th anniversary

More than 400 thousand square meters of the city territory are planned to be transformed by the anniversary of the capital of the republic. And it is not just about improvement, but about a large-scale renovation of the historical center, public spaces and urban infrastructure.

The plans were told by the head of Chuvashia Oleg Nikolaev following the meeting of the organizing committee on preparation for the 560th anniversary of Cheboksar.

According to him, the anniversary should be the occasion for a real reboot of the city, the results of which will serve several generations of residents.

The work will be carried out in three main areas.

The first is massive improvement.

Transformations will affect the territory from the railway station, Karl Marx Street and Lenin Avenue, the Eastern Kosogor, Victory Park, Kazan Embankment and Konstantin Ivanov Street.

Within the framework of the project “Clear Sky”, the air wires are planned to be removed underground. In addition, the facades of 32 houses are being updated.

Benches, lanterns and urns want to perform in a single urban style. Orders for their production intend to place at the enterprises of Chuvashia to support the local industry.

The second area is cultural heritage and new public spaces.

The head of the republic stressed that in Cheboksary there are more than 70 monuments of cultural heritage. It is important not only to preserve them, but also to make them part of modern urban life.

Among the announced projects are the opening of the Happiness on the Volga Gallery and the creation of a creative laboratory for young people in the building of the former House of Pioneers.

The authorities expect to form a single cultural image of the capital, in which the historical heritage will be combined with modern solutions.

The third area is events, festivals and tourism development.

The anniversary year will be filled with large-scale events, festivals and records.

Cheboksary already claim the title of “Capital of Children’s Tourism”. It is also planned to participate in the struggle for the status of “Family Capital” and “Youth Capital”.

The head of Chuvashia paid special attention to technologies.

According to him, artificial intelligence should become a practical tool for improving urban life. AI solutions are planned to be implemented in urban services and infrastructure.

Preparations have already moved to concrete actions. Contracts for design were concluded, 50 million rubles were allocated from the Cheboksary budget for the initial stage.

Oleg Nikolaev instructed to create working groups in all areas of preparation and to involve industrial enterprises of Chuvashia in the implementation of projects.

The main idea outlined by the head of the region is that the anniversary should leave behind not only festive memories, but also a renovated city where people will be more comfortable living, working, raising children and developing their own business.

That is why the implementation of these projects will be especially interesting to watch.

After all, the 560th anniversary of Cheboksary is an event of one year, and the result of the promised transformations should determine the appearance of the capital of Chuvashia for decades to come.
