Uspenska Square is one of the oldest squares in the city of 1M people. Shaped in the early 19th century, it was an important element of the infrastructure framework. During the Soviet era, the cathedral lost its traditional function, and the square ceased to be a part of public life. The task was to revive the historical significance of the square as part of the city's pedestrian framework. On the territory of 1.45 ha, we organized relevant pedestrian connections, planted 285 trees, created new options for leisure and interaction, taking into account the needs of different social groups.
