Defenders of wooden architecture in Tomsk are sounding the alarm. City authorities are changing urban planning policies. And this in the near future will lead to the disappearance of the unique urban complex Tatarskaya Sloboda. And, perhaps, it will deprive Tomsk of the status of a historical city. Residents of the Tatar settlement and defenders of wooden architecture are opposed to updating land use rules. They were presented at public hearings yesterday. But there are still no results of the public vote. Our correspondents tried to figure out how much the plans for the development of the city center of officials, builders and residents of the historical heritage differ.
