This is the result of every international event and serves as an intangible legacy for the residents. It is a reflection of the city's authority, recognition, and investors' desire to invest in a developing city that hosts major international events and attracts tourists, leading to economic growth. Most importantly, it represents the pride and confidence of the city and its residents in themselves and their future», – the Mayor noted. </div> <div> <br> </div> <div> Today, Kazan is one of the best cities in the country according to various indicators. «Holding each event, we develop our skills and abilities.
