Singing Springs Park is a valuable reflection of Belebeevsky district identity - the land of healing springs. It hosts big events, and guests from other towns come here to relax. The project reveals the natural potential of the territory and invites visitors to interact with water.
The authors of the project unlocked the landscape potential and proposed the park zoning for different scenarios and ages. The central element is a pond. The existing ecosystem has been preserved in the park, convenient ramps to water and a comfortable beach have appeared. There are pavilions on the waterfront where you can buy takeaway food.
In the forest part, The Bublik – a pavilion with transparent walls and an inner courtyard – appeared on the site of a former dance floor . The Bublik hosts exhibitions and workshops; local craftspeople work there. All park objects are made of local materials: wood, metal, glass and concrete.

The architectural and park ensemble of the town's historic center consists of Oktyabrskaya Square with the Troitskaya Cathedral, garden squares named after Lenin and Matrosov with adjacent streets and historical buildings.
According to the design of the project, the town center stops being separate spaces, and becomes a single space connected by pedestrian zones instead. Businesses residing in the shopping arcade united and introduced a unified design code, new trees, park swings, a fountain and pockets for recreation appeared on and around the square. Fences were removed, playgrounds for children of different ages were placed, and a lawn, where you can relax, was planted around Lenina Square.

Agidel is a young town built on the banks of the river bearing the same name. It was planned as a town for employees of the Bashkir Nuclear Power Plant, but its construction was canceled. Today, it is a quiet and comfortable town.
The project includes a network of neighborhood public spaces which handle main pedestrian traffic. There will be sports and children's playgrounds, an amphitheater with a stage for small events, as well as places for quiet rest. All spaces are united by the images of Agidel's waves and Soviet modernism, which can be traced in small architectural forms.

Lenina Square has retained historic elements, and an amphitheater appeared around the perimeter using natural relief. There is more greenery around the square: young trees and perennials. On the premises of an abandoned brewery, the Zerno space was constructed with skate and street ball sites. Both sites feature OtkrӨY (ӨPEN) pavilions (ӨЙ stands for house in Tatar and Bashkir languages).
As a result of the upgrade, Dyurtyuli now welcomes visitors from different regions of the country; 4 times more urban residents now visit the square and the skate park (according to MTS and Megafon big data analytics).

Yanaul is the northernmost town of the republic and the only station on the Gorkovskaya railway in the region. Thanks to the victory in Best Project Contest by Russian Government and the completion of the project, a unified linear system of public spaces appeared in the town which starts at the square near the railway station and goes through the town's market shopping street to Yolochnaya Square, where New Year's events are held - it also unites the public spaces with the main town's street – Azina.
After the upgrade completion, a shopping center, a hotel, a cafe, and several shops have been opened around the public spaces. A new covered pedestrian bridge across the railway tracks has also been constructed - an investment project of Russian Railways. In total, the city attracted investments in the amount of about 400 million rubles.

The center of Meleuz being a part of the Ekaterininsky Highway is a historically established center of merchant trade, which gave rise to the town's growth. The shopping and entertainment functions of the place are being revived in a contemporary interpretation.
The concept of the project is the revitalization of the historic center of Meleuz: it combines old houses, the square and the banks of the Meleuz River. The area is roughly divided into 6 zones: a riverfront, an event site, a playground, a sports zone, the space around merchant Bayazitov's house and walking paths between administrative buildings. A large parking lot became a public space, and residents got the opportunity to go down to the river.

Baymak is a town of unique Bashkir culture and large-scale standardized development. The central square is the town's social life center. Town celebrations and farmers' markets are held here. But at the same time, the square serves as a parking lot, although there is enough space for cars nearby. Thus it will be transformed from a parking lot into a space for communication.
Town's central square and conjoint public spaces are being transformed. As a result, Baymak will have a market center and a network of new pedestrian routes between key points of attraction.

All zones are united by uniform stylistic solutions and design code. An additional binding element will be a bike path that will run throughout the renovated space.

Uchaly is located 400 km from Ufa, in a picturesque area with lakes around. The main challenge for Uchaly is the creation of a modern urban environment that will help improve conditions and increase opportunities for urban residents, many of whom are employees of backbone enterprises.

a gathering place for local residents and cultural institutions in the area. Many people pass by the park in their daily lives on their way to and from work and school.
The first phase of upgrading the park involved organizing a civic dialogue to gather ideas and preferences for the renovation while actively involving residents in decisions about their local environment.
The most popular request, "event area with stage", was implemented in the center of the park.
The park has undergone structural improvements, including new entrances and a reseeded lawn connecting to the playground. New trees become a characteristic center of attention: various flowering trees, shrubs.
