Abstract
Urban development occupies a major place in the solution of the great problems of building communism in our country. One half the entire population of the Soviet Union is already urban. In the future, with the growth of industry and culture and particularly with the rise in labor productivity in agriculture, the share of the urban population in the total will increase even further. There is every reason to assume that by 1980 no less than 2/3 of the population will be living in cities and towns. At the same time, the nature of today's villages will change. They will gradually be transformed into the urban type of settlement. As a consequence, the very concept of urban development will change in meaning, inasmuch as this area of human activity will encompass not only the establishment of towns, but of all centers of population, regardless of size or location.
