Urbanism and disurbanism in the Soviet Union. ... Milyutin was not a pure disurbanist. he preferred being in between the two currents of urbanism and disurbanism, calling for a renewed urban lifestyle in which the city would have met the countryside by sharing housing and social institutions. On the one hand, he did not want to abolish the city in order to create a pure industrialised socialist countryside (as in Okhitovich’s disurbanist city concept ...), as the most radical disurbanists would have preferred, but he did want to limit the growth of existent cities at any cost, as he considered them a product of the contradictions of capital, and for this reason oppressive towards the proletariat. 2, record 1, English, - disurbanist

En URSS, à partir de 1929-30, deux tendances s'affrontent : les urbanistes et les désurbanistes; les urbanistes se disent raisonnables : ils veulent peupler le territoire de villes moyennes (40 à 50 000 habitants) d'habitat ouvrier formé de cellules simples individuelles régies par un règlement rappelant la caserne. Les désurbanistes imaginent la ville linéaire, ou ville ruban parcourue de bout en bout d'un transport en commun à grande vitesse et grande capacité. Ainsi, sur les bords du ruban la population vit à la campagne; avec ce transport, elle rejoint aisément tout autre point de la ville. Mais le projet désurbaniste demandait des investissements trop lourds. Le Corbusier le tourna en dérision, pour son utopisme. 3, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9surbaniste
