Monotown: Urban Dreams Brutal Imperatives examines the
post-industrial transformation and transnational legacy of single
industry towns, which emerged as a distinctive socio-political
project of urbanisation in the Soviet Union during the 1920s.
Monotowns took form through the establishment of industrial
enterprises strewn across remote parts of the Siberian hinterland,
around which cities had to be built to provide labour. This model
entailed the relocation of vast populations which would require
services, housing, and social and physical infrastructure, all
linked to a given industrial enterprise. By examining the ways in
which monotowns have adapted over time in this expanded field, this
book establishes a broader yet more specific dialogue about the
challenges faced by towns within this particular single-industry
etymology.
