Text description provided by the architects. White Flowers Boulevard is a public space in Kazan on Absalyamov street, designed with the residents of the district in 2018. The park is located on site of a former parking lot. The constant conflict between cars and pedestrians was dangerous, as there was no pedestrian route from houses to bus stops and the school. Within the project, a landscape was formed, fertile land was brought and more than 1000 large-sized trees and perennial shrubs were planted. At all stages of the project, local residents, communities, teachers and students from local school took an active part. The key events of the participatory design process were two large city-wide meetings — a meeting for the preparation of the design assignment and discussion of the preliminary concept.
