Résumé anglais Alessandro De Magistris, Architectural culture and urban strategies during the I930's. The years between the end of the twenties and the mid- thirties were marked by a high urban population growth and a worsening of living conditions in the cities. This period saw radical changes in Soviet urban strategies and policies of which Moscow offers a clear example. The processes which had started in the 1920's aimed at the creation of a diversified urban economy; they were replaced with the growing role of the state in town "planning" and "management". At the beginning of the first piatiletka an initial phase of radical egalitarianism was followed by a firm anti-egalitarian practice. This in the context in which there was an intense (albeit brief) theoretical debate and a drastic change of orientation in Soviet architectural and town planning culture. These factors may explain in part the intense link between the approach of urban planners and architects and the social and political objectives of the regime.
