Science park on the site of the Barabashovo market
Barabashov Market and the adjacent riverside areas will be transformed into a new, iconic, revolutionary mixed-use neighborhood designed to promote scientific and technological innovation. This is a promising project
will combine the innovative potential of science parks with the most modern approaches to the creation of microdistricts.
New residential neighborhoods will be created, multi-apartment buildings will be designed, which will contribute to the economic development of the city through innovative research and companies. The "Barabashova" market will remain in place, in a modernized and compact version. The presence and connection with universities is very important, as well as the design of green public spaces and buildings to promote the human neighborhood of the future.
The connection with the rest of the city will be ensured thanks to the strategic location of the quarter between the Barabashova metro station, the Saltivska tram line and the Kharkiv river.
"The approximate area will be 140 hectares with the potential for further growth. Thanks to the collaboration of unique local and international teams, Barabashov Science Quarter aims to become the flagship project for Kharkiv's new master plan: a new neighborhood in the heart of Kharkiv that
will position the city and the country at the forefront of innovation, technology and urban planning," the project description says.
