Roman Heiligenthal: urban planning of partnership and domination

Abstract

The features of urban settlement, modern Russia and different attitudes towards them in Russian society are considered. The lack of understanding of the underlying reasons for choosing one or another type of settlement is shown. As one of the ways for this understanding, the translation into Russian of the work of the outstanding German urban planner Roman Heiligenthal in 1932, which explains the social prerequisites for such a choice, is given for the first time. A description of his life and work is given, which makes it possible to present his place in German (and World) Urban planning and Regional planning.
