The "Apple Blossom" project is one of the bright examples of involving residents in the urban planning process in Russia. It was implemented in the youngest city in Russia - Innopolis, which appeared in 2015 and has already established itself as a technological center of the country. Every year, the city's infrastructure changes, and the project in Innopolis has become an important element of this change.

Through conscious planning approaches, parking for residents is organized at ground level, while the courtyard area is located on the second floor, making the courtyard safe for residents. With this construction, ramps and stair climbs were formed to the courtyard level, which became key transit routes for residents.

Moreover, it is important to note that the project in Innopolis took into account the peculiarities of the city and considered social scenarios. Research workshops and master classes were organized with residents. This means that the project not only created a beautiful urban environment but also helped to improve the quality of life for residents. This approach to urban planning is an important factor in creating cities that meet the needs and expectations of residents.

But what were the results in the end? The final transformation of the surfaces became not only an aesthetic decoration of the city but also improved the interaction between residents and the urban environment. The residents themselves contributed to the improvement of their city. For example, adding colors to the surface of retaining walls created a brighter urban environment, which positively affected the mood of residents.
