description The demanded format of leisure today is a combination of educational and cultural services, taking into account the socio-cultural situation (a kind of “site-specificity”), the possibility of earning income from both the main and auxiliary activities. There are many examples of the successful operation of this format in capital cities and metropolitan areas (see the article in the same issue of the magazine about the Sinara Center). Medium-sized cities with a population of 50,000 to 100,000 do not yet have such a practice. On the example of the industrial city of Kirovgrad, Sverdlovsk region, the article presents the rationale for the Copper Horseshoe project, a multifunctional site that includes an exposition hall, a traditional blacksmith shop, a craft workshop, a Ural hut, a tea shop, a souvenir shop and an office. Theoretical methods of analysis and synthesis, comparative (work with analogues), as well as empirical methods - analysis of statistics, survey were used. The author describes the possibilities of the developed project: the socio-demographic situation in Kirovgrad - one in three - is young, hence the demand for new leisure formats in addition to those already operating in the city of the club, the house of culture; reliance on the identity of Kirovgrad residents - the historical and current connection of the city with metallurgy, the demand for traditional values; the initiator of the project is the NGO “Khutor Chisty”, which already has experience in implementing investment projects in the field of culture; orientation of the project towards multifunctionality, both in terms of providing services in the field of leisure, and for other tasks - renting premises and equipment, for example. The article also cites restrictions in the implementation of the project - first of all, the amount of funding, which is more than twelve million rubles, as well as the search for investors. Achievement of the project goals (preservation of the cultural and historical heritage of the Urals, functioning of the information and historical cluster, recreation of traditional handicraft technologies of the Ural crafts, etc.) indicates the scope of the project - excursion and educational activities, social and cultural events, specialized exhibitions of crafts, educational activities and etc. The development of territories through socio-cultural design is a promising direction for medium-sized industrial cities, which include Kirovgrad.
