Dear Participants!

I invite you to take part in the "International Park Forum for Industry Professionals: Park and Public Space Management" to be held in the Hero City of Volgograd on August 9-10, 2019. The organizer is the Association of Parks supported by the Volgograd city administration. The main event of the Russian park industry will be held in our city for the first time. We are glad that Volgograd is on a par with such cities as Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, which use advanced technologies to create a comfortable urban environment.

Leading industry experts, park managers, heads of city and regional administrations, ecologists, landscape architects, designers and journalists will meet at one site. In addition, the forum will be attended by well-known experts from Europe.

In addition to the business part of the forum, we offer our guests sightseeing tours around Mamayev Kurgan, the new embankment and other public spaces, as well as a boat trip across the Volga River.

See you in Volgograd!

The State Public Institution of Moscow "United Directorate “Mosgorpark” supports the initiative to hold the III International Park Forum for Industry Professionals on August 9-10, 2019 in Volgograd. The forum will also be attended by specialists from Moscow.

To date, the capital's parks are a reference point for the entire country. I am sure that the Moscow experience will be extremely useful for our colleagues from the regions of Russia, and holding such an event will contribute to further formation and development of new park areas not only in Volgograd, but also in other cities.

M.F. Zakirov

Director of the Parks and Squares Directorate of Kazan

The Parks and Squares Directorate of Kazan has been a member of the Association of Parks since 2018. During this time, the Association's team has repeatedly organized various professional park events in Moscow, and we were pleased to participate in them.

The decision to hold the III International Park Forum in Volgograd is more than relevant. The practice of exchanging experience between specialists in our industry should be carried out throughout the country, so that representatives of other regions have the opportunity to study the intercommunication tools of management and development of public spaces under different conditions.

We support the initiative of the organizing committee and are confident that the forum will be held at a high level.

About Volgograd

History

Volgograd was founded in the XVI century: throughout its existence the settlement was called Tsaritsyn (1579-1925) and Stalingrad (1925-1961). Initially, the city occupied an island on the river, but by the beginning of the XX century it had become a large provincial center with a developed industry, a large number of schools and cultural institutions. In the 1990s, the population exceeded one million people.

Hero City

The city on the Volga River played an important role during the Great Patriotic War: it was here that the Battle of Stalingrad took place in 1942-1943, which radically changed the position of forces. On May 1, 1945 Volgograd was awarded the title of the Hero City, and in 1967 a memorial complex was opened on Mamayev Kurgan. Almost 800 thousand people were awarded the medal "For the Defense of Stalingrad".

Our times

Modern Volgograd is one of the most dynamically developing cities in Russia. In 2018, the Volgograd Arena International Class Stadium hosted a number of matches of the FIFA World Cup. Dozens of parks have been established in Volgograd: in the coming years, the city's districts will be connected by the embankment designed to the latest urban standards.
