Plans, Pragmatism and People: The Legacy of Soviet Planning for Today's Cities (SERIES IN RUSSIAN AND EAST EUROPEAN STUDIES) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Explores the impact on cities in the successor states of the Soviet socialist city, seen as an amalgam of socialist features derived from Marxist theory and its orientation to a high level of centralized state power and planned economy, elements surviving from the earlier capitalism, new elements of rediscovered capitalism, and the wild cards of individuals and technological change. Traces urban development policy and realities from before the revolution to its eclipse; then discusses enduring problems, the changing social geography, the increasing tyranny of the car, and folding the past into the present. Paper edition (unseen), $19.95. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
