Category : History
Languages : ru
Pages : 432
Book Description
The first volume deals with the questions of urbanization and town planning patterns. The introduction reveals the social and economic problems of Soviet town planning. Principal questions of town planning policy are considered, taking into account the prospective development of our society, and principal social demands on the development of towns. The section "Urbanization and Town Growth Control" deals with questions of population distribution all over the USSR territory and analyses the problems of controlling the growth of towns. These questions are of national significance as the growth of large towns and the ever increasing concentration of population in these towns and the dispersion of the other part of the population from numerous not sufficiently well-equipped small- and middle-sized populated areas. The section "Planning of New Towns" is dedicated to questions of new town location and development, their use zoning, the subdivision of their residential areas into districts and neighborhoods, and questions of the efficient organization of cultural and welfare service, of civic centers and internal communications, of the street network, of planting and rest zones. The part bearing the title of "Reconstruction of Towns" analyzes the principal questions and the general policy of the reconstruction of towns, the peculiarities of small-town planning structure, and reveals the possibilities for the revival of large towns. Special attention is being paid to the rehabilitation of town centers and to the staging of operations in reconstruction. The section "Town Traffic and Transport" deals with problems concerning the organization of public and individual car transport, taking into account such factors as convenience, safety and speed of movement, problems of street network reorganization and of differentiation of streets and roads according to type and speed of traffic, as well as problems of external transport development and reconstruction.
Housing and Urban Development in the USSR
Author: Gregory D. AndruszPublisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 0791494977
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
This study of housing and the urban environment in a socialist society sheds light on the discrepancy between plan and reality. It investigates the sources and consequences of the problem and shows how the U.S.S.R. has attempted to find solutions. Following a general background and overview section, the book deals with the construction, control, and use of buildings in Soviet cities. It then investigates the types of housing considered to be most appropriate for today's Russian urbanite. Focusing on housing sites, it shows the reality of the housing situation in the U.S.S.R. and uncovers spatial patterns of social segregation in Soviet urban development. The question of high- and low-rise housing for workers is also discussed. Andrusz shows how today's Soviet society has evolved away from certain patterns created by the architects of the Revolution. New norms, values, and demands—particularly in the visible form of a more privatized lifestyle: the consumer-oriented, car-ownership-seeking, nuclear family with segregated role playing—have resulted in new dwelling needs. The book is enriched with tables, notes and references, and a useful bibliography.
