Redevelopment in Tartu, Estonia . 330 $aThis open access book focuses on the formation and later socio-spatial trajectories of large housing estates in the Baltic countries?Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. It also explores claims that a distinctly ?westward-looking orientation? in their design produced housing estates that were superior in design to those produced elsewhere in the Soviet Union (between 1944 and 1991, Estonia was a member republic of the USSR). The first two parts of the book provide contextual material to help readers understand the vision behind housing estates in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. These sections present the background of housing estates in the Baltic Republics as well as challenges and debates concerning their formation, evolution, and present condition and importance. Subsequent parts of the book consist of: demographic analyses of the socioeconomic characteristics and ethnicity of housing estate residents (past and present) in the three Baltic capital cities, case studies of people and places related to housing estates in the Baltic countries, and chapters exploring relevant special topics and themes. This book will be of interest to students, scholars, and advocates interested in understanding the past, present, and future importance of housing estates in the Baltic countries. 410 0$aThe Urban Book Series,$x2365-7588 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aEurope$xEconomic conditions 606 $aDemography 606 $aPopulation 606 $aUrban Sociology 606 $aHuman Geography 606 $aEuropean Economics 606 $aPopulation and Demography 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aEurope$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aDemography. 615 0$aPopulation. 615 14$aUrban Sociology. 615 24$aHuman Geography. 615 24$aEuropean Economics. 615 24$aPopulation and Demography. 676 $a307.76 676 $a307.76809479 700 $aHess$b Daniel Baldwin$4edt$0849980 702 $aHess$b Daniel Baldwin$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aTammaru$b Tiit$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910341853003321 996 $aHousing Estates in the Baltic Countries$93359650 997 $aUNINA
