Not so bad, actually - Why Soviet cities are insanely well designed …

In the shadow of the Cold War, Soviet urban planners created something
remarkable - cities designed not just for efficiency, but for human
connection. While the West embraced sprawling suburbs and car dependency,
the USSR developed a revolutionary approach to urban living that, despite
its flaws, solved problems we still struggle with today.

This video explores how Soviet microdistricts created walkable, community-
centered neighborhoods where everything from schools to clinics was within
a 15-minute walk. We'll reveal how standardized housing construction
achieved the impossible - building entire apartment blocks in just days
while providing homes for millions of families emerging from postwar
devastation.

The truth about how Soviet children had more freedom than American kids
today

Why these "concrete boxes" fostered stronger communities than modern
luxury developments

How architects built entire apartment buildings in just 57 hours - a feat
still impressive today

What happened when urban planners prioritized human needs over profit
margins

The hidden wisdom in these "dreary" Soviet neighborhoods that could
transform our cities

What if the solution to our modern urban crisis has been hiding behind
the
Iron Curtain all along? In our increasingly disconnected world, perhaps
it's time to reconsider this approach - not to replicate it exactly, but
to find a balance between community connection and personal comfort.

Този свят е полудял - не съм очаквал да видя подобно нещо.

Спомням си за ругатните към панелките и как обяснявах на Ивайло, че те не
са комунистическо изобретение. Нищо, че в клипа става дума за Съветския
съюз, а не за Англия.
