Ministry of Construction of the USSR. Historical development of state regulation of urban planning activities in the Soviet period

In the Soviet period, the sustainable development of society was ensured, and then capital construction was not a component of the state urban planning policy aimed at pursuing such a policy, and functioned as an independent phenomenon, designed to solve mainly the problems of the country's industrial development, without taking into account the basic principles of territorial development. It was aimed primarily at solving utilitarian tasks (creating an economic base, ensuring minimum standards for housing), since it functioned in the paradigm of an industrial society. There was no holistic, harmonious approach to meeting the needs of society. As a result, in the development of cities and settlements, there was an excessive development of the zones necessary for conducting production activities, and the residential zone was created according to the residual principle and was of poor quality. The category "urban planning" was practically not used in Soviet legislation and as such was not disclosed at all, although it was used in the practical activities of architects. On the other hand, the sphere of capital construction was regulated by a countless number of different levels of legal acts, which quite often even duplicated each other. In fact, capital construction performed the tasks of urban planning, and therefore it is advisable to consider the organization of state regulation of capital construction in Soviet times. It is conditionally possible to single out several periods of development of such state activity.

The first period, during which the emergence of capital construction as an independent phenomenon, took place from 1918 to 1941. The state policy of that time was aimed at strengthening the role of the state and at the same time weakening the role of the private sector of the economy, this approach does not bypass the sphere of capital construction. In 1918, the Committee of State Constructions of the Supreme Council of National Economy was created, and the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR of December 1, 1919 established that the construction contract was subject to control by the state: each construction contract had to be reported to the state financial authorities, regardless of the person of the customer and contractor approach was aimed at combating private property and asserting the priority of the state even in the private sphere of life.

In 1921, the Regulations "On State Contracts and Supplies" were approved. According to its terms, the contractor is obliged at his own risk to build a state institution (enterprise), and the treasury (state) was obliged to pay for the work performed. The above indicates only one thing: the state tried to be the only customer when concluding construction contracts [p.659] . In the Civil Code of 1922 contract relations were regulated in Chapter 7 "Contract". In article 235 of which it was noted that, along with the norms of the civil code, there is a special act that regulates social relations arising from a work contract, the customers of which were contractors on behalf of the state. That is, under a building contract, in contrast to the Code of Laws of the Russian Empire of 1835, such subjects as individuals were excluded [p.248]. And L. Braude on this occasion noted that capital construction is carried out for their own needs with their own funds [p.102]. The construction contract was completely under the control of the state, and acted as a single customer, and as a result, became the sole owner of construction projects.

The next step in the regulation of construction activity was the creation in 1938 of the Committee for Construction under the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR. The fundamental tasks of the founded Committee for Construction were: technical regulation of the construction industry; project and construction management, development of production and budget programs. However, the Construction Committee did not last long, transferring its functions of the People's Commissariat for Construction in 1939.

The second period from 1941 to 1949, the period of capital construction for the needs of the war and the restoration of destroyed facilities. During the Great Patriotic War, the Main Directorate for the Construction of Mechanical Engineering Enterprises under the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR was created, which, together with the People's Commissariat for Construction, organized the capital construction of military plants, enterprises and other structures, had a military purpose. Since 1942, after the occupied territories began to be liberated, restoration work was also carried out in order to restore the objects destroyed during the war. The need to strengthen state control of architectural issues led to the creation during 1942-1943 of the Committee for Architecture under the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR. The terms of his powers, in particular, but not exclusively, included: approval of development projects for cities and towns, development of building regulation and standard design, management of scientific and educational architectural institutions. In addition, a department for architecture was created in Kyiv and local bodies of the Committee were created. Also in the cities, the position of the chief architect of the city was introduced. In January 1946, the People's Commissariat for the Construction of Heavy Industry Enterprises of the USSR, the People's Commissariat for the Construction of Military and Naval Enterprises, and the People's Commissariat for the Construction of Fuel Enterprises were created on the basis of the People's Commissariat of Construction, and in March 1946 they were transformed into the corresponding ministries.

The third period, from 1949 to 1965, was the further development of government bodies for managing capital construction. In June 1949, the Ministry of Urban Development was formed, which essentially duplicated the functions of this committee. In April 1950, the State Committee of the Council of Ministers of the USSR for Construction Affairs (Gosstroy of the USSR) was created, which served as the all-Union body for urban planning and the building materials industry. Under the Gosstroy of the USSR, the State Committee for Civil Engineering and Architecture was formed, endowed with the authority to conduct a unified urban planning policy aimed at the development of cities and towns. In addition, in 1953, on the basis of the Mintyazhbudu and the Ministry of Construction of Mechanical Engineering Enterprises, the Ministry of Construction of the USSR was formed, which was liquidated on 05/10/1957. Also, Councils of the National Economy (sovnarkhozes) were created, where the majority of construction organizations were concentrated, certain powers in the construction sector were assigned to the powers of the economic councils. At the same time, the functions of state control were vested only in the bodies of state architectural and construction control (Gosstroykontrolya), created under the Councils of Ministers of the Union and Autonomous Republics, the executive committees of regional, regional and city councils. Their competence included: issuing permits for construction work, checking the development of large cities and urban-type settlements, as well as performing control functions over the quality of construction of residential and civil facilities, regardless of their departmental subordination. In 1962, construction organizations were transformed into the main territorial administrations for construction, which were subordinate to the ministries of construction of the republics. At the same time, only the functions of developers were left behind the radnargospas.

The fourth period - the strengthening of state management of capital construction and the consolidation of a multi-link system of industry management took place from 1965 to 1985. By the law of October 2, 1965, the USSR State Committee for Construction Affairs was transformed into a union-republican body of state administration. Construction and production organizations were separated into separate systems: specialized (for transport, production of building materials, installation and special works) and general (for republican ministries of construction).

In 1967, on the basis of the Decree of February 21, 1967 "On the Creation of Construction Ministries of the USSR", a system of corresponding Union-Republic Ministries of the USSR was founded, which covered enterprises of heavy industry, industrial production, rural construction, which were transferred to dual subordination - to the Councils of Ministers of the Union Republics and Union-Republic ministries of the USSR. During this period, ministries were restored that were liquidated in previous periods (Mintyazhbud of the USSR, Ministry of Construction of the USSR, Mintransstroy). On October 17, 1969, the Council of Ministers of the USSR approved the Regulations on the Ministry of Construction of the USSR, whose terms of reference included: management of the construction of industrial enterprises, buildings and structures, residential buildings and objects of cultural and community purposes, regardless of the sectors of the national economy in which they were assigned; control over the fulfillment of tasks for the commissioning of production facilities and facilities.

In July 1978, in accordance with the resolution of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR of July 12, 1979, the USSR Gosstroy was to be responsible for pursuing a unified technical policy in construction, improving design estimates, improving the quality of design; as well as for improving the architectural appearance of cities, industrial centers and towns. Acting in the field of technical regulation, the Gosstroy of the USSR approved nationwide standards, estimated norms, rules, instructions and other regulations on construction issues that are mandatory for all ministries and departments, as well as enterprises and organizations, regardless of their subordination. During this period, all-Union ministries were created at different times: the Ministry of Construction of Heavy Industry Enterprises, the Ministry of Industrial Construction, the Ministry of Agricultural Construction, the Ministry of Electric Power and Electrification of the USSR, the Ministry of Assembly and Special Construction Works, the Ministry of Construction of Oil and Gas Industry Enterprises, the Ministry of Construction in the Districts Far East and Transbaikalia. They were entrusted with the management of capital construction by sectoral orientation or in the corresponding territory.

Fifth period 1985 - 1991 - the period of simplification of the capital construction management system. Thus, the Ministry of Transport Construction of the USSR, the Ministry of Industry and Buddy of the USSR, the Ministry of Vazhbud of the USSR, and the Ministry of Silesia of the USSR were liquidated. On August 19, 1986, Gosstroy of the USSR was transformed into the State Construction Committee of the USSR, on November 14. One thousand nine hundred ninety-one liquidated.

So, the special bodies for managing capital construction in the USSR were divided into all-union, republican and union-republican construction ministries. In Ukraine, the latter included in different periods of the second half of the twentieth century the Ministry of Construction of Heavy Industry Enterprises of the Ukrainian SSR, the Ministry of Industrial Construction of the Ukrainian SSR, the Ministry of Agricultural Construction of the Ukrainian SSR, the Ministry of Assembly and Special Construction Works of the Ukrainian SSR. Also in Ukraine there were republican bodies for managing capital construction: the Ministry of Construction of the Ukrainian SSR, the Ministry of Construction and Maintenance of Highways of the RSFSR, the Ukrainian Intercollective Farm Association for Construction. The State Committee of the RSFSR for Construction and Architecture was also created, which was subordinate in its activities to the Council of Ministers of the Ukrainian SSR and the State Construction Committee of the USSR and was a member of the central bodies of the economic leadership of the republic in matters of the construction complex. In accordance with the Regulations on the State Committee of the Ukrainian PCP, approved by the Council of Ministers of the Ukrainian PCP in 1987, its main tasks were: organizational and regulatory support for major urban planning programs, design and estimate work, as well as the activities of architecture and urban planning bodies of local Councils of People's Deputies, development the foundations of the formation and functioning of the economic mechanism in capital construction and estimated rationing and pricing, coordination of scientific and technical programs and design and survey work in the region, organization of quality control, licensing, certification and examination of design, scientific, technical and construction products.

As a result of the creation of this system of ministries in the 1980s, capital construction management systems developed in the USSR, which had several levels of management. The simplest was the two-link system, when the all-union ministry acted as the supreme governing body, and in the republic, the construction ministries of the republic, as well as the main departments for the construction of the regional Soviets of people's deputies. The primary element was industrial construction and assembly associations or construction and assembly trusts. In Ukraine, an example of such effective management was the Main Directorate for Housing and Civil Construction at Kyivmiskvikonkomi (Glavkievgorstroy), which directly managed the construction and installation organizations in Kyiv, which carried out the construction of housing, social and cultural facilities in the capital of the union republic. The three-link management scheme provided for the highest level of management as the all-Union or Union-Republican construction ministry, the middle Union-Republican construction ministry or territorial main construction departments or industrial production associations, respectively, the primary link was a production construction and assembly trust or association. For example, the Mintyazhbud of the USSR led the Mintyazhbud of the Ukrainian SSR, which, in turn, managed the combines, the latter managed the trusts, the ZAVOSTROITELNY, house-building combine. The most complex scheme was the chotiriokhlanka structure. The supreme body here was the union-republican construction ministry, the first middle body was the republican construction ministry, and the second middle link, subordinate to the first republican building association, the primary link was the production construction and installation trust or association.

According to the fair conclusion of A.Ya. Pilipenko, multi-link management systems led to the cumbersomeness of the administrative apparatus, duplication of management decisions and a decrease in their efficiency and quality. Indeed, such a system of organization of public administration did not allow to respond quickly to changes in the situation in the country, to introduce new construction methods and technologies. There was no sole management of the capital construction industry, as a result of which the construction of homogeneous objects was carried out by various organizations, and a significant number of unfinished objects were created.

Important bodies, although they did not directly manage capital construction, but acted as economic management bodies that carried out intersectoral management in accordance with the implementation of their functions, were the State Planning Committee of the USSR and the State Planning Committee of the Union Republics. It was they who reviewed and submitted for subsequent approval lists and title lists of construction projects for industrial purposes, exercised control over the implementation of planning documents, and performed coordination functions in the construction industry. A feature of capital construction was that it was carried out on the basis of a five-year plan and a title list of construction compiled on its basis, which served as a planned task.

So, all capital construction in the Soviet period was carried out with the knowledge of the state, acted as both the customer and the executor of such work.

The development of capital construction in the USSR, and therefore in Ukraine, as a system that replaced urban planning, was actually started in the thirties of the last century, when large-scale projects for the development and reorganization of society based on industrialization and collectivization were implemented, which laid the main directions for the development of the country's territories. , cities, other settlements for the long term. Capital construction was a means of implementing the ambitious projects of the Soviet leadership of the country. Large-scale construction of new and restructuring of old cities took place, with the simultaneous resettlement of a significant number of people, including from rural areas. In 1926, 4,500,000 people lived in eastern Ukraine, and by the end of industrialization, about ten years later, there were already more than 15 million people. In order to create a military-industrial complex in a short time, new settlements were created artificially on a planned basis, which excluded the possibility of their evolutionary development. The foundations and restructuring of cities were carried out within the framework of the introduced economic zoning, which was a means of attaching labor resources to the places of development and processing of minerals, and the production of industrial products. That is, the formation and development of industrial cities took place on the basis of command, administrative and legal methods that ensured the implementation of the main task of socio-economic policy: ensuring the existence of an optimal industrial chain (development and mining of minerals, their processing, production of necessary industrial goods, ensuring production enough electricity, transportation of raw materials and products). With this approach, the provision of residential, recreational, environmental, aesthetic human needs in practice was relegated to the background, although it was declared in regulatory legal acts. For example, the joint Decree "On the preparation and approval of projects for planning and socialist reconstruction of cities and other populated areas of the PCP Union" dated June 27, 1933 of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR No. 70 and the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR No. 1219215 determined the possibility of creating the most favorable working conditions among the main requirements for urban planning projects and the life of the population and the need to provide places for the construction of institutions for socio-cultural and consumer services and the creation within the settlement, as well as on its periphery of a system of interconnected green spaces (parks of culture and recreation, boulevards, squares, etc. ) and security protection zones. The implementation practice did not always correspond to such declared approaches. In fact, settlements were created at industrial enterprises as an appendage to them, providing them with a labor force. According to the architectural proposals of S.G. Strumilin, the industrial plant became the center of the city, and it was united, and residential development was subject to the needs of industrial construction. So, the city was seen as an economic system that should ensure the growth of industrial production.

In the aesthetic design of cities, its ideological content was recognized as the main one, architecture mainly solved party problems and dealt with the issues of architectural design of the appearance of a modern industrial enterprise. In the capital construction of the pond, it was made in such a way as construction (new industrial and transport enterprises were actively built), and residential and domestic areas were mainly provided with temporary buildings, barrack-type buildings, at best, communal apartments. In the latter case, several families were mainly resettled in different rooms of one apartment, which was located in a capital building, built mainly before the revolution. As a result, living conditions in such premises could not be satisfactory. New comfortable housing was built only for the party, military, economic, scientific elite and was a means of rewarding valuable and loyal to the regime members of Soviet society.

Although housing construction took place in the calculation of public forms of life, but the corresponding service structure was not created or was created in insufficient quantities. Social and cultural construction during this period was carried out on an even smaller scale than residential. Thus, by the middle of the twentieth century in the USSR, the development of such a type of capital construction as industrial was predominant, so the task of creating, and in the post-war years of restoring the industrial base of society, was solved.

By the middle of the twentieth century, urban population growth continued to grow, and in 1956 the urban population accounted for 48.4 percent of the total population and amounted to about 56,100,000. on the European territory of the USSR, a significant amount of living space (70 million square meters) was destroyed, as well as the continuation of resettlement from rural to urban areas, and the growth of the existing disproportion between industrial and housing construction. The issue of providing the population with housing was so catastrophic that even in the joint resolution of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR dated July 31, 1957, "On the development of housing construction in the USSR," it was stated: "the problem of housing is still one of the most acute." With the adoption of this regulatory legal act, the deployment of mass residential capital construction on an industrial basis took place, as a result of which there was a significant increase in the volume of housing in the shortest possible time, which made it possible to relocate a million people from barracks and communal apartments. During the housing policy of this period, a positive priority was also laid down for a further long-term perspective, according to which each Soviet family had to be provided with a separate apartment.

The transition to the introduction of new methods of capital construction of housing became possible as a result of work carried out in advance to create an appropriate industrial base in the form of construction, construction and installation enterprises and house-building plants, specialized in large-panel construction. The legal basis for this was the joint resolution of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR of August 19, 1954 "On the development of the production of prefabricated reinforced concrete products for construction."

At the same time, there were also negative phenomena in urban planning. Among the numerous methods of industrial methods of capital construction of housing, only one was chosen - large-block, and subsequently large-panel assembly production, according to which the building was created at the factory in accordance with a single standard project, and it was assembled on the ground. This reduced the cost of production and accelerated its terms, but led to the uniformity of urban development, which determines the basis of the architectural environment of the city, monotony and the virtual absence of an individual look in many regions and cities of the USSR and Ukraine in particular. Typical projects provided for a minimum set of amenities in an apartment, because they were primarily focused on reducing the cost of construction, which made it possible to build the maximum amount of living space for a minimum amount of money. Hence the absence of elevators, utility rooms in such a house project, the presence of a mixed bathroom, walk-through rooms, the corridor and kitchen area is small, and generally extremely low comfort.

The microdistrict became the basic element in the design of the development of the territories, where the need to ensure beauty in the visual perception of the artificial environment was ignored, a high building density and a low degree of landscaping were introduced, and parking spaces were practically not provided. The organic delimitation between private and public territory was destroyed due to the widespread introduction of walk-through courtyards. Architectural solutions were subject to the task of building production, putting into practice not difficult to manufacture and the same type of engineering solutions. Cities developed according to the so-called architectural minimalism, since the main thing was to alleviate the problem of providing Soviet people with housing. Thus, when forming the living environment of cities and settlements, priority was given not to qualitative, but to quantitative indicators.

Industrial capital construction was characterized by the construction of engineering, metallurgical, oil refining, chemical and energy industries. Plants for the production of concrete and other building materials were widely built. Ukraine was considered a priority region for capital construction. New power plants were built (Voroshilovgradskaya, Dneprodzerzhinsk, Kakhovskaya, Kremenchugskaya, Mironovskaya, Pridneprovskaya, Simferopolskaya, Slavyanskaya), new mines in the Donbass and Lviv region, the Southern Mining and Processing Plant and the Central Mining and Processing Plant in Krivoy Rog, a major reconstruction was carried out at Krivorozhstal. In the chemical industry, 35 new plants were built, in particular, the Rozdol Mining and Chemical Combine, the Dnepropetrovsk Tire Plant, the Cherkassy and Chernihiv Chemical Plants. Mechanical engineering and aircraft manufacturing developed. In the food and light industry, capital construction was also carried out at an accelerated pace compared to other regions of the USSR, although it should be noted that mainly imported equipment from the CMEA countries was used.

The second half of the twentieth century in the USSR is characterized by an increase in the number of urban residents, and at the beginning of 1970 it exceeded Europe in such indicators and was second only to the USA and Japan. In the field of housing construction in Ukraine at that time, previously laid approaches were developing, and although housing was built according to a large number of standard projects, its convenience increased (elevators, garbage chutes appeared, the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe kitchen and corridor increased, utility rooms were built, permission for a bathroom was missed) the development of territories from the standpoint of environmental friendliness, comfort, and constancy of development was not ensured. Neighborhoods in cities continued to be built without dividing public and private territories with walk-through courtyards, without taking into account the need for zoning the territory of the quarter.

Construction continued to grow. In the 1970s, as a result of the capital construction work carried out at the Zaporizhzhya, Uglegorsk, Krivorozhskaya, Prydneprovskaya, Burshtynskaya GRES, the gas pipelines Efremovsky - Kyiv - Kamenno-Bugskaya, Shebelinka - Slavyansk, Dikanka - Krivoy Rog were built. By the middle of this decade, 26 new oil and gas fields were put into operation. At the Dnipropetrovsk Metallurgical Plant, as a result of a major reconstruction, a unique state for rolling wagon axles by the original method was put into operation. The "Ingulsky Mining and Processing Plant" and the "Northern Mining and Processing Plant" were built and began to operate.

Although theoretical developments on urban planning activities were carried out during this period, little was introduced into the practical plane. Normative legal acts did not use this category at all. As a result of such a policy of the state, the territory of the Ukrainian SSR was overloaded with a large number of industrial enterprises. As a result, the technogenic load on nature increased, which was 6-7 times higher than the all-Union level. More than 10 million tons of harmful substances were annually emitted into the atmosphere and water bodies. Such cities as Donetsk, Zaporozhye, Kramatorsk, Krivoy Rog, Mariupol, Kharkiv suffered the most. On the other hand, a large amount of capital investment in the construction industry was not mastered, and as a result of the accumulated problems in the economy and the construction complex in particular, the number of unfinished objects increased significantly.

Thus, it can be stated that in the USSR priority was given only to the development of capital construction, which is an integral part of urban planning activity, in isolation from its other components. Even in the legal acts of that era, the term urban planning was not used, in contrast to the category of capital construction.

The term urban planning began to be used in legislation during the times of the USSR, only at the end of the eighties of the last century, after the adoption of the joint Decree of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR dated September 19, 1987 No. 1058 "On the further development of Soviet architecture and urban planning", as well as the Decree of the Council of Ministers USSR dated December 25, 1987 No. 513 with the same name. Although they did not contain a definition of urban planning, they made an attempt to create a legal framework for streamlining this complex type of economic activity. Prior to the adoption of these regulatory legal acts, the legislation of the Soviet period, in matters of creating an artificial environment for human activity, stimulating, organizing and controlling it, mainly operated with the categories of capital construction and architectural activity. This was explained by the level of development of society, the economy and the tasks that were solved at certain stages of the country's life. Capital construction effectively ensured the creation of an industrial base and the intensive development of territories, the restoration of the national economy after the end of the Second World War, and the provision of housing for the general population in the middle of the last century. At the same time, the task of creating an effective living environment for a person, although recognized as necessary in the legal acts and programmatic party documents of that time, in practice remained mostly formal and was not implemented to a significant extent. A comprehensive and harmonious development of the three social components of the human living environment: work, housing, recreation, as well as ensuring the sustainable development of cities is possible within the framework of the implementation of such economic activities as urban planning. Only with the beginning of perestroika did the transition from the priority of satisfying the interests of the state to the interests of the individual begin to take place, and, consequently, urban planning activity begins to be regulated in regulatory legal acts.

  • Hi all! The story "Crush of hopes" is about my dream to go on my first business trip to Vietnam and how it all ended.

    1. How we helped Vietnam

    In 1982, after the army, I went to work at Glavzagranstroy of the USSR Ministry of Construction as a leading specialist in the Construction Department in Vietnam. I was instructed to conduct preparations for the construction of the Technical Center for the repair and operation of construction machines and mechanisms supplied from the USSR.

    5. Technical center in Hanoi

    But back to the Tech Center. By the time I arrived at Glavk, in pursuance of international agreements, the Vietnamese had allocated a site for construction in the city of Hanoi. Our designers have developed a project. But the matter did not move from a dead point.

    In this case, in addition to all the circumstances already listed, two more significant reasons were added:

    1) For some reason, the USSR government entrusted the role of the customer to the Ministry of Foreign Trade (MWT), and not to the State Committee for Foreign Economic Relations (GKES), which had experience in construction abroad.

    2) The MVT, which worked according to the primitive scheme of K. Marx: “Commodity-Money-Commodity”, had neither the strength nor the desire to solve the new tasks that had fallen on it. I don't think it's necessary to explain how construction is more complicated than a simple purchase and sale. One range of materials and equipment is worth something: from a nail to a tower crane.

    What about frames? And everything that is connected with the life support and organization of people's work? What about transport? For the MVT, their association Soyuzvneshstroyimport, located at Tverskoy Boulevard, 6, was responsible.
