Current Research

    Moscow Under Construction (provisional title), a book about the transformation of urban space in the Russian capital.  I will discuss the city’s changing morphology, the city government’s development strategy, socio-spatial change, and the emergence of opposition to the urban transformation program.

    Two long-term projects are concerned with Soviet agitational vehicles in 1917-1922 and the evacuation of Soviet industry and civilian personnel in 1941-1942.
