presentation about a city
This phrase is important as it's repeated throughout the presentation. It's sort of a slogan and I'm having a bit of difficulty coming up with something short and 'catchy'. It is shown on several slides of the presentation.
It's used in the following context:
город комфортной работы и жизни
город для инвестиций
уверенный путь в будущее
This phrase is repeated in other parts of the text and then towards the end as:
Самара уверенный путь в будущее
So far I have "a sure path to the future" and "Samara is a sure path to the future" but I'm not thrilled with the way it sounds in English. If anyone has some suggestions I would really appreciate it.

a city of many opportunities
Sarah, I would probably not translate it word for word, I would probably focus on the connotation and its about the opportunities that the city gives you for you to have a sure pass to the future...It's my understanding.

reliable way/path
in the context of the presentation, I would use "reliable", which has such meanings as confident, trustworthy, certain, determined, which is what it seems the presentation is about.
