On the wall



The map
Horishni Plavni was built from the 1960s as a new town for the iron ore industry, and the plan shows it. The residential districts are laid out as large, regular microdistricts with wide avenues between them, all set down in one go rather than grown over time. The town is on the left bank of the Dnipro, downstream of Kremenchuk, where the river spreads into channels and wetlands.
Until 2016 the town was called Komsomolsk, and it was renamed under Ukraine's decommunisation laws. Its new name refers to the floodplain landscape of the river. On a map, the most striking features are the mining pits and tailings areas on its edge, huge stepped hollows that are larger than the town itself.
A Horishni Plavni map poster sets three very different landscapes side by side: the tidy geometry of the housing blocks, the braided waterways of the Dnipro floodplain and the concentric terraces of the quarries. Rendered in black and white, the mines read almost like contour drawings, a rare kind of industrial pattern that looks unexpectedly graphic on a wall.
Residential areas are arranged in large planned blocks separated by broad streets, a clear example of postwar Soviet town planning drawn in a single campaign.
Iron ore mining has carved deep terraced pits beside the town, and their stepped rims appear on the map as tight rings of lines.
To the south and west, the river breaks into channels, islands and marshy ground, which softens the edge of an otherwise rigid plan.
