Abstract:

Mosaj Ginzburg's Green City proposal aimed at reorganising urban settlements as a network of single-occupant cells, communal houses, and collective facilities scattered along infrastructure across rural territories. It represents perhaps one of the most radical legacies from spatial-planning experiments in the early years of the Soviet Union. It is also the highlight of a specific tendency known as 'disurbanism'.
