From the City-Plant to the Socialist City: Losses and Acquisitions of Human and Architecture
Abstract
The article has proved the comprehensive approaches to the formation of the architectural and urban environment of the founders of the Ural industrial settlements (city-plants) of the 18-19th centuries and the socialist cities of the 20th century. These approaches were determined mainly by climatic, geographic and economic circumstances. It has been shown that the orientation toward the goals external to the city (economic benefit, conformity to ideological doctrine) destroys and deforms the primary, more humane, and sustainable goals, based on the succession of the town-planning tradition of the Ural region.
Keywords: City-plant, industrial city, socialist city, architecture, historical and cultural heritage of the Urals
