Abstract
The aim of the article is to present key elements of communist urban planning and urban design, in particular those whose patterns developed in the USSR, and then implemented into urbanization in other Eastern Bloc states. Additionally, the article presents changes of urban structures and architecture which occurred under the influence of diverse political, social and economic factors. The author analyzed the structure of the settlement network, the functional structure of the city, its composition and architecture, and proposed a periodization of the discussed phenomena.
