description The introduction of advanced technologies in the urban planning practice of Rostov-on-Don in the 1960– 1980s may be divided into three successive stages. Each of them corresponds with the construction of three major residential areas: along Lenin Avenue, and in the western and northern areas. The western residential area became the city’s first example of the scientific approach characterizing the urban planning of Soviet modernism type. This approach involved standardized calculations of functional zone accessibility and creation of a tiered system of public services. The paper presents a comprehensive urban planning analysis of preserved graphic materials, implemented solutions and current situation in the district. The study has established the dates of development, building stories arrangements, standard designs, provision of cultural and consumer services, and placement of schools and preschool institutions. A general scheme of district’s functioning is drawn up. The study has enabled the author to identify the most characteristic features of Rostov-on-Don planning during the 1960–1980s that determined the further spreading of the principles of modernism in the city.
