The city of Krasnoyarsk is a settlement on the banks of the Yenisei with a population of more than 1 million people. This is the largest economic, educational, cultural and economic center of Siberia.
As far back as 1624, the Krasnoyarsk prison appeared on the mountain with a view of the Yenisei, after 4 years the prison was officially recognized, and this date is considered the official year of the founding of the city. In 1690, the settlement had already received the status of a city due to rapid development.
Today, there are seven districts of the city of Krasnoyarsk, which are located on the right and left banks of the Yenisei.
Soviet
This is the largest intracity settlement with 323,783 people, as of the end of 2017.
The date of the district’s formation is considered to be 1955, when the construction of the housing stock, which volunteers engaged in, began on the wasteland called the “Wolf Comb”. The first building was a dormitory, and a year later the construction of Aluminstroy had already begun. The official date of foundation of the Soviet district of the city of Krasnoyarsk is 1969.
Now the district has several large microdistricts:
- Green Grove. This is the oldest microdistrict, and was built for employees of the KrAMZ and KrAZ plants. In the 90s, it was the criminal center of the whole city.
- Northern. Mostly migrants from Norilsk and other parts of the north of the country live here. There are many clubs and shopping centers in the microdistrict.
- Innokentyevsky is the newest microdistrict, the development of which began in 2004 and continues to this day.
- Sunny - 4.5 km away from the city limits, as it was planned as a satellite city.
- Take-off - located on the territory of the old airfield. It is characterized as one of the most uncomfortable and uncomfortable neighborhoods.
October
This is the second district of the city by the number of inhabitants, where 180,651 people live. The official foundation date is 1938, it is located on the left bank of the Yenisei. In 1979, a part, which is now called the Railway District, was separated from the Oktyabrsky District of the city of Krasnoyarsk.
There are 14 largest enterprises in the region, which are mainly engaged in food production.
Leninist
This part of the city is also called the "Eastern Gate" of the city. In former times, there were several ancient settlements and the village of Torgashino, Cossack settlements, which are almost the same age as the city. The official founding date is 1942.
150 thousand people live in the Leninsky district of the city of Krasnoyarsk.
Kuznetsov airfield, Vostochny bus station and thermal power station are located in the area. On the territory there are 18 microdistricts, in particular this:
- Cheryomushki. The most remote area from the central part. His fame is not very good, it is believed that there are many drug addicts and a very criminal environment. Here is the second most popular Red Light Street, where the cheapest priestesses of love of the whole city.
- Lower Cheryomushki.
- Upper Cheryomushki. The microdistrict is located on the top of the mountain, and after it there are already wastelands and country houses. The criminal situation here is quite tense.
- District KrasTETs. Here is the largest eastern market of the city. Despite the proximity to the center, there are many Muslims, so local residents even prefer housing in Cheryomushki.
- Badges. It is believed that this is the most comfortable place to stay in the entire area. In the microdistrict transport connection is well established, a lot of greenery.
There are many parks and squares, including the May 1 park, which was reconstructed in 2012, and newlyweds gather on Lovers' Square for photo shoots.
Sverdlovsk
This is one of the youngest areas of the year, where nearly 142 thousand people live, located on the right bank of the river.
The Sverdlovsk district of the city of Krasnoyarsk uniquely combines industry and nature conservation areas. Today, along with Oktyabrsky, many housing construction programs are being implemented here. Elite apartments and cottages, as well as social housing, are being built in the area.
In addition to parks and reserves, there is a state circus in the area, many shopping centers and the oldest club in the city - the Colorado Papa.
Kirovsky
A fairly old district of the city, the official foundation date is 1934, and the very first district on the right side of the city. 116,500 people live here. The population in the district is rather motley, old people and newlyweds live nearby, who have registered a mortgage in a new building.
In the Kirovsky district of the city of Krasnoyarsk there is a huge concentration of industrial enterprises and higher educational institutions, there is a shopping center, a theater for young spectators. The main advantage of the district is its proximity to the historical part of the city.
However, the housing stock is quite old and consists mainly of Khrushchev and Stalin, there are several fairly successful projects of new buildings. Closer to the streets of Shchors, Pavlov and Kutuzov, a newer development is already beginning - 9-story buildings.
The development in the area is quite dense, but the area is considered landscaped, with good transport interchange.
Railway
It was founded in 1979 as a result of the division of the Oktyabrsky district. Almost 95 thousand people live here. Its territory mainly lies along the railway tracks. But here is the visiting card of the whole city - the railway station.
It is believed that the railway district of the city of Krasnoyarsk is well-maintained, with many parks and alleys, squares. Communal problems rarely arise here, since the district is quite young, although almost the entire housing stock is represented by the Khrushchevs. New construction is underway. There are 16 industrial enterprises in the region, there are design and scientific institutions.
5 km from the district is the village of Udachny, where the active construction of townhouses and cottages is underway. It is in this village that the governor's residence is located. It is clear that the cost of housing in Udachny is very high, on average they ask for a cottage from 15 million rubles.
Central
As the name implies, this is the business and historical center of Krasnoyarsk. Almost all administrative bodies are concentrated in the district. The housing stock can be described as old, represented mainly by buildings erected under Stalin, although of good enough quality. Indeed, almost all the houses in that period were built according to individual projects. The main problem of the Central district of the city of Krasnoyarsk is the lack of parking spaces. Here the highest cost of housing and commercial real estate. The area is home to 75.7 thousand people.
There are 5 higher educational institutions and 121 sports facilities, there are exhibition halls, theaters and concert halls.
The district includes the Pokrovka microdistrict, it is located on the trough of the Krasnoyarsk prison. Today, there is an active development of the wasteland. This neighborhood is designed for young people who are ready to live not in the center, but close enough to it, and ready for a mortgage.
Ecological problems of the city
Not the first year, the public and environmentalists have been sounding the alarm. There is nothing to breathe in Krasnoyarsk; even such a thing as “black sky” has appeared. Some studies also suggest that in 15 years it will be impossible to live in the city at all. And those who manage to survive are at risk of cancer.
Although there are areas of the city of Krasnoyarsk, where you can still more or less live comfortably. Experts say that today the most favorable region for living is Oktyabrsky. In particular, it is recommended to choose Serebryany, Akademgorodok and Vetluzhanka for accommodation. If we talk about the right side of the city, then the west of the Sverdlovsk region is suitable for living: White dew and Quiet dawns.
In the near future, the situation in Studgorodok should improve, since the boiler room should close. In the area of Nikolaevka, improvements are also forecasted, as they should demolish the private sector with stove heating.
The most unfavorable for living areas of the city of Krasnoyarsk include Soviet and Leninsky. Such a tense situation is associated with industrial enterprises, in particular, the worst situation in the region of TPP-1, oil depot, in the villages of Shinnikov and Energetikov, in the Stone Quarter.
An interesting fact is that the ecological situation can radically differ even within the boundaries of one region. For example, the part of the Zheleznodorozhny district, which is closer to the border with Oktyabrsky, is much cleaner than the one closer to the city center. And this is due to the huge accumulation of vehicles in this part.
The ecological situation in the regions is also affected by the terrain of the entire city (mountainous). If the area is at the level of the CHP pipe, then when the wind changes, the population of the area towards which the wind blows feels an unpleasant effect. In light of this, it’s quite difficult to say that one area is better than another; too many factors will have to be taken into account.
Criminal environment
There is a rating of the districts of the city of Krasnoyarsk according to the level of security of residence, which was compiled on the basis of the number of calls of patrol cars.
The leaders turned out to be the Oktyabrsky district. Most often, the police had to go to the streets: Kalinina, Zabobonova, Kurchatov, Vysotnaya. In second place was the Kirovsky district (Pavlova, Novaya, Michurina and Gruntova streets). Most fights have been recorded in this area. Then come the Sverdlovsk, Central and Soviet districts. For some reason, the ranking does not include Leninsky and Zheleznodorozhny districts.
