Abstract

The Soviet urban general plan is a physical plan document which guides the development of the city for periods of up to 30 years. Recently, however, the general plan has been the object of much criticism in view of its evident failure to guide urbanisation and urban development in the required manner. One basic reason for this is the dislocation between physical and economic planning, and this in turn derives from several features of the Soviet planning system, including the priority which is given to economic planning, the different agencies responsible for the two types of planning, and the different time-spans and control mechanisms employed. Policy has recently concentrated on the need to ensure co-ordination in urban development and to develop comprehensive planning for cities.
