Description
Making Cities Socialist provides a comprehensive examination of how urban spaces became laboratories for socialist ideology and practice throughout the twentieth century. Katherine Zubovich traces the development of socialist cities from early revolutionary experiments to Cold War-era metropolises, analyzing how communist regimes attempted to reshape urban life according to socialist principles.
The book explores key themes including city planning, housing policies, public space design, and the relationship between urban development and state power. By comparing cities across different regions and time periods, Zubovich reveals both the ambitious goals and practical contradictions of socialist urban projects. This work offers valuable insights into how ideology, politics, and architecture intersected to create distinctive urban environments.
