دانلود کتاب The Ideal Communist City

(From the preface)
This book was initiated by the architecture -faculty
of the University of Moscow in the late fifties. For the
Italian edition in 1968 the material was enlarged and
revised by the authors, a group of young urbanists,
architects, and sociologists, who represent a renewal
of ideas and men that is taking place in Soviet Russia,
especially in fields concerned with the organization
of the physical environment. Their work is particularly
original in its general assumptions, method of inquiry,
and choice of models. The authors turn away from the
proposition that the city should attempt to restore
the habits and appearance of the countryside. This
proposition adapted from the bourgeois naturalism
of the nineteenth century, contradicted the ideological foundations of communism. By contrast, what is
proposed in this book is world-wide urbanization. The
authors design concept, the New Unit of Settlement,
incorporates countryside with city, conceiving both
as a communication network, uniformly intense and
diffused.
