O knihe

The first volume deals with the questions of urbanization and town planning patterns.

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.
