Urban development was impacted in 3 different eras: tsarist, soviet (communist), post- Russia"s cities experienced two reconstruction phases in the 20th century: one after the creation of the soviet union in 1917 and the other when the soviet union collapsed in. Strong reflections of european urban planning characteristics, was established in the tsarist era. Rapid urbanization in the early 20th century accelerated urban growth. As a result of the disintegration of the soviet-era socialist support system, crime and corruption have hindered the emergence of a democratic post-soviet governance and the development of a civil society, especially in cities with increasing in-migration. Environmental issues in russia"s urban centers are increasingly recognized as severe and have become an important issue requiring attention from post-soviet city leaders. The need to overhaul and redesign urban places and urban governance raises new questions about the roles of government and citizens in the post-soviet era.
