: More traditional is "company town," not "one-company town." Often, in order to make clear what's meant in the Russian context, it's better to say "city dominated by a single industry."

да, судя по критериям, это типичные "single industry tows" : "Первый: доля работающих на одном градообразующем предприятии или группе предприятий, связанных единой технологической цепочкой, составляет не менее 25% экономически активного населения. Второй: объем производства такого предприятия или группы предприятий не менее 50% в отгрузке продукции населенного пункта. "http://www.vz.ru/economy/2009/8/17/318084.html

Thanks for your comment. Actually, I was the first to suggest one-company town with the link of FT article where this word was defined and transliterated as monogorod or mono-city/ Thank you, Rachel

single employer town
as in "Swindon is no longer ***a single employer town*** having had a very forward looking council. It now has a wide variety of national and international companies based there and its ideal location alongside the M4 motorway and its rail access to Bristol and London has allowed it to become the fastest growing town in the country for two decades."

Reference:
monocity=company town
"One of Russia’s so-called monocities -- company towns that are home to about 12 percent of the country’s 142 million people -- Zlatoust is a prime example of the dangers of the Stalin-era practice of depending on one factory to employ workers, heat apartments and support small businesses."
