Tomorrow, on August 11, an open international competition for the development of a concept for the development of the Central Park named after Gorky.

The goal of the competition is to attract the world's best architects to transform the iconic place. A large-scale international project will give a new impetus to the development of not only the park itself, but also the city as a whole.
The competition is held by the investor of the reconstruction company RUSAL with the support of the Government of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Krasnoyarsk and the Gorky Central Park. The organizer of the competition is the Agency for Strategic Development "CENTER".

In order for the opinion of as many city residents as possible to be taken into account during the work of the competition participants, interested citizens can answer the questionnaire.
In working on public spaces, Krasnoyarsk actively uses participatory design techniques and involves residents in the formation of tasks for designers of public spaces. Thanks to the questionnaire survey, the project will be able to answer the requests of a wider target audience. The survey is open for two weeks, until August 25.
