In response to the urgent problems, the local business initiated a project called the Forest City. The concept is aimed at integrating the Mari identity and returning forest motifs to the urban environment. One of the key features of the project is an entrepreneurial model of the territory development. How to Cite Mayarenkov, S., & Kholyavko, A.
