Based on research in previously closed Soviet archives, this book
sheds light on the formative years of Soviet city planning and on
state efforts to consolidate power through cityscape design.
Stepping away from Moscow's central corridors of power, Heather D.
DeHaan focuses her study on 1930s Nizhnii Novgorod, where planners
struggled to accommodate the expectations of a Stalinizing state
without sacrificing professional authority and power. Bridging
institutional and cultural history, the book brings together a
variety of elements of socialism as enacted by planners on a
competitive urban stage, such as scientific debate, the crafting of
symbolic landscapes, and state campaigns for the development of
cultured cities and people. By examining how planners and other
urban inhabitants experienced, lived, and struggled with socialism
and Stalinism, DeHaan offers readers a much broader, more complex
picture of planning and planners than has been revealed to date.
