Monotowns are settlements formed for the social and infrastructure provision of one or several enterprises. But such enterprises, which include a large proportion of the city's population in ensuring their functioning, differ significantly in the ratio of workers and specialists within the structure of their personnel, depending on the industry. The branch of production also determines the differences in the historical context of the formation of cities, the characteristics of the first permanent residents, and the qualitative features of the request to the staff. In this paper monocities with city-forming enterprises engaged in industries of different levels of science are to be studied as "social laboratories" that construct the features of leisure infrastructure and community in the spatial and temporal characteristics of leisure practices of residents. The study was carried out by two methods: mapping using the QGIS geoinformation system and qualitative and quantitative analysis of a mass sample online survey.
