The paper provides analysis of the main underlying ideas, the reasons allowing it to be reborn in the XXI century. The author gives an example of the reconstruction of multi-storied housing in France, implemented on the same principles and led to even seemingly similar results. The connection between the architecture of social housing of the New Course in the United States and the architecture of Soviet workers’ settlements, which were designed and built by the USSR People’s Commissariat of Industry and the departments that left it in the second half of the 1930s and the second half of the 1940s, was not clearly identified. The paper draws attention to structure and proportionality of the residential ambiance to a person and the opportunity, given in the American example, reconstruction and revival of such architecture in Russia.St. Louismodernismresidential developmentNew DealNeighborhood Gardensneighborhoodstructured residential ambienceСент-Луисмодернизмжилая застройкаНовый курсНейборхуд Гарденссоседствоструктурированная жилая среда[Филиппов В.Д.
