The influence of Moscow and Leningrad on the compositional organization of residential quarters in Yaroslavl in the 1920s and 1930s

Residential development in Yaroslavl during the 1920s and 1930s reflected distinct stages influenced by Moscow's mechanistic urban planning and Leningrad's emphasis on preserving historical heritage. The study identifies a shift from a focus on filling vacant land to a more controlled approach that integrated central urban spaces, ultimately prioritizing the conservation of valuable historical elements within neighborhoods. By comparing Yaroslavl's architectural practices with those of Moscow and Leningrad, researchers uncovered unique compositional techniques applied both in new developments and in areas with significant historical legacy.
