🗿 Monument • 🕵️ Urban legend
By the Larch Park stands a sculpture that symbolizes the slow city. In 2019 Svetlogorsk became the first town in Russia to join the list of the world's slowest towns, as ranked by the Italian association Cittaslow. The name combines the Italian città, “city,” and the English “slow.” Founded in Italy in 1999, the movement now counts about 240 towns around the world.
Towns on this list have the most unhurried pace of life and populations of up to 50,000. They also support local cuisine, the creation of new green and pedestrian areas, “clean” technologies, and handmade goods, and they foster an atmosphere of neighborliness and hospitality.
