What to Read on Urbanism in 2026? New Fundamental Research in the TATLIN Online Library

Ten urban studies have been added to the open-access electronic library of TATLIN, Russia’s leading publishing house specializing in architecture, design, and art. These are analytical works by the Agency for Strategic Development “CENTER,” which over the years have become landmark publications in the field of territorial development, including at the national level. Among them are, for example, an assessment of key trends in the redevelopment of Moscow’s industrial zones, a study of Grozny’s development potential, and research that formed the basis of the Integrated Territorial Development (KRT) Standard.

“The studies are of interest both to experts in territorial development — managers, researchers, consulting professionals — and to those just beginning their careers in this field: students and young specialists. For us, it has always been important to contribute to the development of the industry not only by providing services but also by openly sharing our experience. This helps raise professional standards and strengthens competition, ultimately benefiting the entire professional community,” noted Sergei Georgievskii, Co-founder, Agency for Strategic Development “CENTER.”

Among the new additions is “MOSCOW RE: INDUSTRIAL 2.0,” a study that analyzes key directions in the development of the capital’s industrial areas and offers recommendations on addressing the challenges associated with the recent growth of production within the city.

Also featured is the “Comprehensive Assessment of Grozny’s Development Potential,” which served as the analytical foundation for the master plan of the capital of the Chechen Republic. This document later became part of the region-wide master plan — the first of its kind.

The publication “10 Best Housing Development Practices in Russian Regions” reviewed more than 1,000 residential complexes in 53 cities and laid the groundwork for the Integrated Territorial Development Standard. For example, recommendations on commercial infrastructure, variable building heights, and landscape diversity were incorporated into the Standard from this study.

Also available:

• “Comprehensive Assessment of Argun’s Development Potential,” which formed the basis of a master plan that received the highest award at the international PROESTATE AWARDS in development.
• “Comprehensive Assessment of the Development Level of SUEK Company Cities in Krasnoyarsk Krai,” used in the competition for the best master plans of three cities (Borodino, Nazarovo, Sharypovo).
• “Comprehensive Development Model for a New City in Sakhalin Oblast,” which served as the foundation for designing a new city from scratch.
• A study of the tourism and recreational services market in Novorossiysk and Krasnodar Krai, which became the basis for a competition won by a consortium led by Zaha Hadid Architects.

In 2023, the TATLIN collection had already been expanded with 13 studies by the Agency. The full catalog of publications is available on the official library website: tatlin.ru/lib
