The development of housing construction in Sevastopol in 1965-1985

The article examines the main principles, mechanisms, and outcomes of the state policy for the spatial and territorial development of Sevastopol in 1965-1985, focusing on housing and civil construction. The aim of the study is to reconstruct the development of housing construction in Sevastopol during this period. The article analyzes a wide range of sources that make it possible to present quantitative and qualitative indicators of the construction of housing and social and cultural facilities. The scientific novelty lies in providing a comprehensive historical analysis of housing construction in Sevastopol in 1965-1985. On this basis, the author develops a three-stage periodization of the sector’s development and identifies the technological and organizational features of the transition from large-block housing construction to industrial large-panel construction. In addition, a substantial body of archival materials is introduced into scholarly circulation, making it possible to identify systemic contradictions in the Soviet urban-planning model. The main result of the study is a periodization of housing construction in Sevastopol, which, based on empirical data, characterizes the specific features and qualitative and quantitative indicators of each stage. The findings demonstrate both the large-scale achievements of the Soviet model of mass construction and its systemic shortcomings and contradictions.
