Stolipinovo

[3] Stolipinovo was one of the sites of the 2019 Plovdiv European Capital of Culture program, in which German artists and architects Martin Kaltwasser and Maik Ronz created a concept for building a sustainable, temporary canopy and seating at the Maritsa river bank adjacent to Stolipinovo in cooperation with volunteers and participants from the local Roma community, encouraging to connect the neighbourhood with the rest of the city.

[5] In combination with the boom of illegal housing this led to severe problems with regards to electricity and water supply, sewerage and waste disposal.

Inevitably, these problems caused a hepatitis type A epidemic in the summer of 2006 which affected at least 637 persons in Stolipinovo, and spread to other parts of the city, Sheker Mahala in particular.

[9] Other emergency measures undertaken by the municipality included dismantlement of illegal kiosks that had lined the streets and disposal of refuse left uncollected for years.

Company’s experts prepared a complete technical project, a programme for public-private partnership and an information campaign, the implementation of which took almost a year.

Their obligations are to consult the clients upon comprehending the readings of their electricity meters as well as to carry out information campaigns directed to energy efficiency.
