I loved to hate these buildings, but behind those grey boxes there was planning. Lots of nurseries, kindergarten, schools, playground, pharmacies, shops, and parks in-between, and public transportation. Whereas modern construction is all for maximizing profit, “luxury residence” everywhere, putting the most of sq meters in every plot, and f.ck the rest.

Also: the size layout of the flats is really good, not like the 39.5sqm random polygons of a modern buildding.
