The Ideal Communist City by Alexei Gutnov

The book The Ideal Communist City published in the 1960s was authored by A. Gutnov, A. Baburov, G. Djumenton, S. Kharitonova, I. Lezava, S. Sadovskij from the Moscow University. It is a superb book on urban planning. Offers food for thought in the planning of cities.
In contrast, Randal O'Toole offers some interesting remarks at The Commons blog regarding "the ideal communist city" based on his experience in Halle-Neustadt (old East Germany). Also can find a related report on Leipzig-Halle: Nearkt Recovered From Socialism.
