Abstract

The article is devoted to the features and origins of Nikolay Milyutin’s urban planning theory. Written long before the completion of his formal education, his book “Socialist city” became extremely popular among the planners and architects of the 20th century, but the real extent of his contribution to the practice of building new cities, as well as the impact on subsequent developments have not yet been fully measured. Milyutin himself was quite familiar with the urban planning thought of his time thanks not only to his communication with Le Corbusier, but also to his books, primarily in French. Whereas Vladimir Semyonov was a conductor of the English urban planning thought in Russia and the USSR, Milyutin was a conductor of the French and Spanish ones.
