"Based on research in previously closed Soviet archives, this book sheds light on
the formative years of Soviet city planning and on state efforts to consolidate power
through cityscape design. Stepping away from Moscow's central corridors of power,
Heather D. DeHaan focuses her study on 1930s Nizhnii Novgorod, where planners struggled
to accommodate the expectations of a Stalinizing state without sacrificing professional
authority and power. Bridging institutional and cultural history, the book brings
together a variety of elements of socialism as enacted by planners on a competitive
urban stage, such as scientific debate, the crafting of symbolic landscapes, and state
campaigns for the development of cultured cities and people. By examining how planners
and other urban inhabitants experienced, lived, and struggled with socialism and Stalinism,
DeHaan offers readers a much broader, more complex picture of planning and planners
than has been revealed to date."--Dust jacket
