Ugsarmal bair (Mongolian: Угсармал байр, lit.
It supplied a large share of Mongolia's population with flats equipped with modern amenities (tap water, sanitation, central heating).
Ugsarmals in Ulaanbaatar, Erdenet and Darkhan are often high-rises, while those in the aimag centers usually have only four floors.
Most public flats in Mongolia, including those in Ugsarmals, were privatized in the early 1990s.
The term Ugsarmal bair refers specifically to buildings in Mongolia.
