Prohibition of Tall Buildings in Historic City Center
Hear ye, hear ye! In the heart of Yekaterinburg, a protective fortress will rise to shield the historic edifices hailing from the 19th to the early 20th centuries. You'll find these architectural gems mainly residing on Radishchev, 8th March, and Malyshev Streets. Buckle up, high-rise builders! Your game shall be restricted within this fortified zone.
The Culture Budgetary Institution "Scientific-Production Center for the Protection and Use of Historical and Cultural Monuments of Sverdlovsk Oblast" has proposed an alliance to defend these cherished landmarks. By joining forces, they aim to better regulate construction in the neighborhood, safeguarding these buildings from the wrecking ball.
The project has successfully passed the state test. Now, it's up to the government to give this protective plan a green light. Once approved, construction in this neighborhood becomes a more arduous undertaking. The project's ultimate goal? To conserve historical architecture and its surrounding environment in style.
The new cityscape will be subject to various height restrictions, with constructions reaching as high as 33 meters in some zones. Before you start dreaming of skyscrapers, remember that in September 2024, a historical and cultural examination of the zone between the Iset River embankment and Dobrolyubova Street suggested the construction of 49-story buildings.
But wait! There's a twist! The initial proposal for high-rise buildings was scrapped. Ivan Ivchenko, a local entrepreneur, had to adapt to the ever-changing tides when his construction plan received a thumbs-down from experts at the Scientific-Production Center for the Protection and Use of Historical and Cultural Monuments of Sverdlovsk Oblast (a subsidiary of the regional Management of State Heritage Objects). The experts issued a negative conclusion, blocking high-rise constructions from infiltrating this historic corner of Yekaterinburg.
