"Aren't you ashamed?": Urban planners appealed to the Tomsk Region governor regarding the filth in the city center.

"An endless gallery of tags, drawings, curse words, dirt, and decay. All of this is visible from the windows of the Regional administration. Building 50 meters from this place. Sunе This is seen by residents and visitors of the city."- was indignant The team of the "City Doesn't Infuriate" project attached a dozen photographs as proof from the river embankment Ears and the embankment Tomy.

Urbanists recalled that last year, regional authorities promised to carry out a complete renovation of the area under a federal program. However, whether the renovations are actually planned remains unknown.

"You work just a few meters away from all the chaos we've been writing about for two months now. We're ashamed of the city, and especially its central 'facade' part," requested The project team to the Governor of Tomsk Oblast Vladimir Mazur. "Aren't you ashamed? Don't you feel like you're living in filth? We're not talking about a total renovation of the entire square. We're talking about basic urban hygiene: picking up trash, painting walls, removing tags and graffiti. This doesn't require federal programs or billions of dollars. It should be done by default."

Vladimir Mazur hasn't responded to the request yet. Urbanists have previously written similar posts about toilet in the city center, kiosks on Lenin Square и the facade of the Concert Hall, hung with advertisements and banners.
