HPEB00052U CAA, Socialistiske og Postsocialistiske Byer i Centralasien, Rusland og Østeuropa (F16)

This course will look into the transformation that the socialist planned cities have gone through following the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the fall of communism. By looking into case studies from across Central Asia, Russia, and Eastern Europe, the course will examine how the city and the everyday lives of city dwellers are shaped by new practices of consumption and mobility, spatial segregation, growing socio-economic disparities, privatisation, and identity-building projects.
