| Abstract: | How does the spatial dynamics of the socialist city compare with that of the market city? What happens when all investment decisions are made administratively in the absence of land markets? Russian development is the longest socialist experiment on record. Its outcome is of paramount interest to urban economists. This paper reports the first analysis of the structure of Russian cities after 70 years of Soviet development. The main finding is a perversely positive population density gradient. |
