Naberezhnye Chelny is the second-largest city in the Republic of Tatarstan with a population of more than 522,000. It's situated on the Kama River. The city began to develop in the 1960s when year-round construction of the KAMAZ megafactory commenced. These factories led to sharp population growth and, thus, a boom in housing and infrastructure construction.
