I lived in moscow for 20 years and then in Northeast of US for 20 years. I want to say that while soviet buildings are ugly to look at the overall urban planning in large cities in USSR was superior.
In most cities in US you need car, there is no other option, public transport is horrible, or , very often , not available at all. US houses are larger but in densely populated areas all you have is streets of 3 stories of essentially same houses/townhouses , roads and cars. There is no shops within walking distance, no parks. without a car you can walk miles and miles on exact same streets . yeah houses themselves are nicer, but living space around them is non existent.
in Russia the multistory apartments themselves are horrible (often way worse than US projects), but you have a lot of green space, children and adult parks to walk around.
City like new york has very few green spaces compared to amount of people living there. Moscow has huge amount of green spaces - large parks, small parks and simply courtyard squares everywhere. In us cities you typically have a few medium sized park for entire city, and thats it. Like boston commons or central park
Us suburbs is another topic. But again same design -you cannot do anything fun if you just leave your house - there is nothing in walking distance. You need first get into car and drive somewhere |
