## Project sectors

Homes, places and infrastructure. Choose a sector to explore its objects and materials.

### Individual housing: homes and settlements

From a plot and settlement layout to rooms, furniture and outlets in an individual home.

### Apartment buildings and residential complexes

Apartments, shared spaces and courtyards as one living environment, from a building to a neighbourhood.

### Tourism: visitor infrastructure

Places to stay, relax and explore: facilities, routes and services for visitors.

## ANALYTICAL MODULES

### PLANNING SYSTEM

Comparative analysis of centralized and decentralized economic planning mechanisms

### BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGIES

Smart contracts and tokenization in economic management

### HISTORICAL ANALYSIS

Experience of centralized planning in the Soviet Union

### SELO 2.0

The community centre of a new settlement: derelict Soviet culture houses as the core of territorial development — community hub, energy, housing and a digital twin

### CONNECTIVITY 2.0

Infrastructure, flows and the digital framework of settlement: transport, logistics, connectivity and utilities — counting time achieved rather than volume built

### SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

What open planning is assembled from: six layers from registries to publication, three loops laid over them, and the rule that forbids the loops from merging

### THE GREEN QUARTER

Green building codes regulate the building, while the territory between buildings is regulated by nobody — a reading of the field and the standard that is missing

### CONNECTION MAP

Where gas reaches and where 150 kW can be connected: settlements, gas infrastructure and substations of 35 kV and above on one map

### BLOCKCHAIN MARKETPLACES

Research of modern blockchain platforms and their application in economic planning

### OPEN PLANNING

Synthesis of plan and market: goals are set democratically and transparently, while technology and markets are only the means

### Weaknesses and Risks

Critical analysis of limitations and potential risks of digital planning

### ANSWER TO CRITIQUE

A response to D. Davydov’s critique of technocracy: how open planning differs from technosocialism

### BIOPHILIC CITIES

Cities where nature is load-bearing infrastructure rather than decoration: principles, effects, and green planning with verifiable KPIs

### CURTIS YARVIN

Neocameralism versus open planning: the same technologies, opposite political outcomes

### ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

Comparison of USSR Gosplan and blockchain planning model 2.0

### DIGITAL ECONOMY

Impact of digital technologies on economic planning

#### ANALYTICS SYSTEM

### HERITAGE ATLAS — USSR.WORK

An interactive atlas of the architectural heritage of the USSR and the socialist countries, 1917–1991: over 385,000 buildings and structures mapped — housing, industry, energy, transport, monuments. Filters by type, style, country and year, analytics and 3D viewing. What the planned economy actually built, as a database.
