On the basis of generalizing the construction experience gained at Noril'sk and in accordance with the principles of architectural climatology, the authors have substantiated the requirements for the planning and construction of cities and villages of the municipal type for high latitudes. The authors suggest methods of protection against snow, and ways to ameliorate the microclimate in an inhabited territory. Special attention is directed to increasing the degree of comfort in the living accomodations and in creating the conditions for proper physical development and education of children of pre-school and school age. The book is oriented toward urban builders and architects. Draft trans. of mono. Opyt Proektirovaniya i Stroitelstva Gorodov Drainego Severa, Moscow, 1973 p1-176.
