Pskov

Pskov is one of the most ancient cities in Russia located in the north-west of the country. The region is unique in its location since it borders on three states at once: Latvia, Estonia and the Republic of Belarus. The access to Baltic Sea ports and foreign markets makes the economic and geographical location of the region favorable and allows it to participate in the integration processes of interregional and international cooperation.

Challenge for the pilot

In the city there is a lack of places where people can do physical exercises. The idea was to prepare special places for all groups of citizens in order to increase their physical activity. Therefore, the aim of the pilot intervention was to create a center of physical activity for citizens on the basis of “school stadium”.
