The Historical Quarter
Tags:Urban spaces
The historical quarter in Krasnoyarsk is a public space in the city center, created on the basis of restored wooden houses of the XIX – early XX century (Gorky Street area).
The project began to be discussed in the early 2010s, and active implementation started in 2017. As part of the reconstruction, the historic buildings were dismantled and restored with the preservation of a significant part of the original materials.
The main feature of the quarter is the combination of authentic architecture and modern function: today it is a pedestrian zone with cafes, hotels and cultural venues. The project is being implemented with the participation of private investors and the city and is considered an example of careful renovation of the historical environment.
