Public Space of a Soviet City in the 1930s (Projects of Stalingrad’s Squares)
The work focuses on the different aspects of those complex approaches that formed the public spaces in Soviet towns and cities of the pre-war period. The squares at that historical stage were seen as new “socialist forums”, which, by architectural and planning means, were supposed to embody the supreme type of proletarian democracy. Taking the example of the development of Stalingrad’s squares, the authors illustrate the difficulties of reconstructing historical squares and study those projects that influenced the appearance of new public spaces.
