The article examines the problem of abundant squares of the administrative centers of town, typical for the Soviet period, and its solution by using the design of modular systems for creating urban equipment. The organization of a comfortable space under constantly changing conditions, the ability to quickly adapt to the needs of the consumer makes the development of modular architectural structures increasingly acute. The article considers basic principles of designing modular systems for organizing urban spaces for various public events. The main principles for optimizing the design of such modular systems have been formulated, such as multifunctionality and versatility, flexibility and adaptability, reusability, transportability and mobility. The main design features, units, parts and materials of the modular system are described. Based on the study of trends in the design of such systems, a conceptual project of modular open structures and universal pavilions for the city of Rubtsovsk, Altai Territory, is proposed. In addition to the module, a planning solution for the central square was proposed. The proposed modular system allows to improve the ergonomic and aesthetic properties of urban spaces, taking into account the climatic conditions of the region. The system has good adaptive characteristics, as it easily adapts to the needs of consumers. The cost-effective, flexible and growing structure of the modular system allows to quickly create a new image of the center of the settlement and contribute to its natural development. Design tools have become key elements in organizing the squares. The offered modular objects can form a single environment complex and perfectly decorate the shopping area. The created space can be used for theatrical events and festivals, since a stage, seats for spectators and recreational areas can be built from the elements of the modules.
