As part of the Green World Solidarity Year, on April 5, at the initiative of the Vice President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, founder and head of the IDEA Public Union Leyla Aliyeva, another сourtyard  was opened as a part of the Our yard project.

The main goal of the Our Yard project is to create environmentally friendly and livable yards outside the city, restore greenery, which is the basis of urban ecology, promote a healthy lifestyle, and provide safe and comfortable living conditions for residents. In the adjacent yard, which has been improved, comfortable mobility for people with disabilities has been taken into account, and conditions have been created for the development of children of all ages, leisure activities, and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle. For this purpose, mini-football fields with artificial turf, chess fields, various sports facilities, and playgrounds for children have been installed. Numerous benches, summer houses, bird nests, and cat houses have also been installed.

Taking into account the wishes and interests of the residents, new lighting fixtures and surveillance cameras have been installed in the yard, and the facades and building blocks have been completely renovated, asphalt and roofing have been updated, and the electrical system has been restored.

In addition to restoring existing greenery in the yard, 219 different types of trees, 5500 shrubs, and 2000 seasonal flowers have been planted. A “green barrier” has been arranged on an area of ​​2050 square meters. “Green barrier” have also been created by planting around the yard 1200 common ivy and other climbing plants, which grow densely and can effectively reduce air pollution.
