Industrial city as a philosophical and cultural problem: from the Soviet Magnitogorsk to the cultural capital of Europe

The conference in Magnitogorsk in February 2019 was devoted to modern cultural strategies of industrial cities. Magnitogorsk is one of the key cities of Soviet industrialization, where unique cultural projects were implemented in the 1930s. Evidence of this is the Magnitogorsk state choir named after S.G. Eidinov, the Magnitogorsk state Conservatory named after M.I. Glinka, the Magnitogorsk Opera and ballet theatre. Nowadays, these cultural institutions are focused on cooperation with the city - forming University-Magnitogorsk state technical University named after G.I. Nosov, who initiated a scientific conference on new challenges of cultural development. The speakers addressed the past and future, presenting the formation of the concept of an industrial city in the USSR, as well as new European strategies of industrial cities. The author of the proposed article relied on the research experience in the scientific project "Chronotopia of the city" (RGNF grants in 2006 - 2015), as well as on his publications in the Russian-German almanac "StaLaPlan" (1997 - 2006).
