The article considers the town-planning activities of Mikhail Pavlovich Malakhov, a well-known architect who worked in the Urals in the first half of the 19th century. He developed the 1829 and 1845 master plans for Yekaterinburg and the first regular plans for the factory settlements Elizavet and Gorny Shchit. The authors describe the historical background and the trends in national and regional planning practice in the late 18th-early 19th century which influenced the development town plans in general. M.P.Malakhov’s proposals for the master plans and his Classicist principles of «regularity» embodied in the construction and improvements of the Ural mining settlements are considered. The typological and compositional features of M. P. Malakhov's regular plans are identified in the context of national urban planning practice during the Classicist period
