Planet Moscow, a guide to the changing landscape of power

Karl Schl�gel

International Journal of Urban Sciences, 2015, vol. 19, issue 1, 64-72

Abstract: Moscow is unique in many ways: the city that concentrates the political, economic and symbolic power of the largest country of the world. Layout, structure and aesthetic forms reflect Russian history over the centuries. The absolute concentration of wealth and power makes the city in the vast spaces of Russia an isolated planet, where one can observe and analyse the ruptures of Russian and European history, especially in the twentieth century.
