Giprogor. The First Years. Commemorating the 85th Anniversary of the State Trust for Planning Populated Areas and Civic Projects “Giprogor”
The work is dedicated to the history of Giprogor — the oldest Russian planning institute. The author takes a close look at the initial stage of its work. For the first time we are able to see the directions of scientific research carried out in Giprogor, which were aimed at theoretical and methodological analysis of the basic principles involving the concepts of socialist settlement and their embodiment in specific rules of urban development, as well as calculated indicators for providing the actual planning process. The work experience acquired by Giprogor in the course of the first years of its large-scale activities emerged as a basis for a number of instructions and normative documents, which regulated the work of other planning institutes across the country. The methodological postulates, formed in Giprogor offices, became the foundation principles for a new state profession, which was rapidly establishing itself in the USSR — urban planner.
