This literature is enhanced with subsequently published critique\u00a0and commentary to explore commuting, mobility, and transport-land use interaction vis-a`-vis\u00a0the legacy of central planning for housing estates. Findings suggest that various elements of built\u00a0environments that were vital to access and mobility significantly lagged the timing, quality, and\u00a0completeness of housing construction. The Soviet system substituted proximity for mobility in\u00a0certain aspects of urban life, but incomplete service networks in residential districts meant that the\u00a0promises of propinquity were unrealized.<\/p>\n
