Single-industry townships

There's not a lot of context but I believe your text deals with "gradoobrazuyushie predpriyatiya" - enterprises that are the sole (or at least a major) employer in town.

Consider Sayanogorsk - a town of 50,000 residents with Sayanogorsk Aluminum smelter employing (directly or indirectly) 10,000 of those.

When the industry is fragmented - e.g. textile - you get a single-industry towns, like Ivanovo (textiles).

Check if this is the case for your text,
Hope this helps!

centrally planned urban area. In the UK, new towns such as Milton Keynes and Stevenage were built after World War II largely to accommodate the overspill from cities and large towns at a time when the population was rapidly expanding and inner-city centres had either decayed or been destroyed. New towns are characterised by a regular street pattern and the presence of a number of self-contained neighbourhood units, consisting of houses, shops, and other local services. Modern industrial estates are located on the outskirts of towns where they are well served by main roads and motorways.
