"It was Tatarstan that became the "ancestor" of the federal program for creating a comfortable urban environment. The republic's experience was highly appreciated by the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Russian Federation, as a result, it was offered to be broadcast throughout Russia. The practices and regulations developed in Tatarstan have been incorporated into the federal standards of landscaping," the Deputy minister noted.
Since 2018, the annual Rating Vote on the selection of public space projects has become a prerequisite for the implementation of the federal program "Creating a comfortable Urban Environment".
In the process of its implementation, residents are actively involved through rating voting to determine the priority objects of the program, gatherings, public discussions of projects, meetings, public opinion research, participation in clean-up activities at facilities in close cooperation with local governments.

The list of public spaces proposed for voting will include 283 facilities in all 45 municipalities of the republic, as well as 812 courtyards.

In addition, Tatarstan annually participates in the All-Russian Competition for the best projects for creating an urban environment in small towns and historical settlements. By the time the competition was launched in 2018, the republic had already accumulated serious experience in the development of public spaces, and had become one of the regions with the largest number of winners: 49 projects had received grants from the federal budget in 7 years (from 2018 to 2022). The total amount of grants already disbursed amounted to almost 3 billion rubles. This year, the development of financing for 7 facilities totaling 585.9 million rubles has begun.,
