| description | This article examines the adaptation of historically developed East Prussian settlement system to the new objectives and functions during the formation of the Kaliningrad region. The author offers an overview of the basic urban development trends in the course of the region’s formation in the ages of Stalin (partial restoration and adaptation of the existing buildings with the minimum infrastructural transformations of towns and villages), Khrushchev (the development of new design and construction technologies and standards of the “Soviet modernism”), and Brezhnev (urban expansion, complex cultivation of territories, rejuvenation of representative and central urban sites). |
