Ilsur Metshin holds a meeting on the renovation of the Chekhov market

The Chekhov market will be renovated – the main building will be restored, and shopping stores and a multipurpose square with galleries will open nearby. The architects took into account the history of the place and added modern features to the project.

The renovation project was presented to the Mayor by architect Oleg Maklakov. He said that the Chekhov market space will be divided into several parts: the main building, shopping stores and a multipurpose courtyard with galleries. The main pavilion is planned to be restored. New spaces will be designed behind it- two-storey shopping stores that will resemble pavilions that existed in the USSR.

The main feature of the Chekhov market will be a multipurpose square with galleries. It can be used not only for trading, but also for holding events.

It is possible to install a tent in the courtyard. Lectures, presentations or other activities are planned to be held here.

The Chekhov Market is an integral part of the green connection between two public spaces (Aksenov's garden and the square of Medical workers). The market is considered the core of this esplanade. Therefore, it is important design walking routes, which are now being interrupted. Then a single space will be formed.

In many ways, the creators of the concept relied on history: back in 1966, shopping stores were located here. Later they were demolished, and in 1980 a standard pavilion was built. The territory has become an open platform for trade.

Ilsur Metshin noted that such a position would help make space a point of attraction.

“The Chekhov market is not only the history of our food market, but also a favorite space in the city center. We are not just recreating a place for the sale of agricultural goods, but making a new point of attraction for both business and agricultural manufacturers, most importantly for residents,”- the head of the city said.
