Housing Estates in the Baltic Countries
«“This is a useful book that addresses the breadth and depth of issues related to housing estate revitalization across Europe and should meet students’ and academics’ appetites for more detailed excavations of housing estates development today. It presents substantial progress in understanding urban issues like ethnic-spatial segregation, inner city revitalization, limiting urban sprawl, and social cohesion, and generates fresh ideas for potential collaboration, among many other things.” (Marcela Mele, Eurasian Geography and Economics, May 8, 2023)
“This much-needed book pays great attention to explaining the historical context of the birth of this sort of housing, the use of standardized types and projects versus innovative planning principles … and the architect’s aspiration towards novelty and original solutions in developing housing estates for the Soviet man.” (Triin Ojari, European Planning Studies, Vol. 28 (6), 2020)
“I strongly recommend [this book] to housing scholars and practitioners on both sides of the Atlantic. The editors and the publisher, Springer Open, deserve credit for publishing two attractive and useful books that address the breadth and depth of issues related to housing estate revitalization across Europe. The numerous photographs (color as well as black-white) throughout the book helped me to understand changes in the design of European housing estates—the good as well as the bad.” (David P. Varady, Geography Research Forum, Vol. 39, 2019)»
This open access book focuses on the formation and later socio-spatial trajectories of large housing estates in the Baltic countries-Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. It also explores claims that a distinctly "westward-looking orientation" in their design produced housing estates that were superior in design to those produced elsewhere in the Soviet Union (between 1944 and 1991, Estonia was a member republic of the USSR).
