After the October Revolution, Yaroslavl's authorities transformed all areas of public life. The article reveals the relevance of the 'garden city' concept in the formation of residential development in the 1920s. During this period, architects successfully incorporated both large districts and individual buildings into the urban environment. The Yaroslavl city planners considered such innovative ideas as strict adherence to the utilitarian functions of buildings, simple layout of neighborhoods, taking into account all the requirements for organizing the life of citizens. At the same time, foreign philosophers borrowed practices predetermined the emergence of such social space as a compositional-planning structure. In practice, they applied fast-track construction method. There were built seven apartment blocks in two years, integrated into a well-appointed village. We should note the significant contribution of Konstantin Ivanovich Butusov, the Head of the provincial communal department, whose 130th anniversary will be celebrated by Yaroslavl town planners and historians in 2022. The development of a modern city allows the local planners to rely on the experience of preserving the urban environment and green areas as resources for sustainable community development in the context of infill development and the observed epidemiological situation.
