Square of Pervoy Pyatiletki, Regional cultural heritage site in Ordzonikidsevski district, Russia.
The Square of Pervoy Pyatiletki is a central public space in the Uralmash district of Yekaterinburg, marked by Soviet-era architecture and functional design elements. The open area is framed by buildings reflecting the industrial heritage, with room for movement and public gatherings.
The square emerged in the 1930s as part of rapid industrialization and urban development in Yekaterinburg. It became a symbol of economic modernization and maintained its importance across the decades.
The square takes its name from the First Five-Year Plan and was closely tied to the city's industrial expansion. Today it serves as a gathering place for neighborhood celebrations and informal meetings where residents come together.
The square is reachable by several trolleybus routes that connect well to other parts of the city. It is best visited during daytime to appreciate the architectural details and experience local activity.
The square was named after the Soviet economic program and carries a name that few visitors recognize today. This historical naming makes it an interesting example of how political ideals were connected to urban planning at that time.
