	Tomsk and Vladivostok: A Comparative Study in Siberian Urban Development
		This paper is a comparison between Tomsk, western Siberia and Vladivostok, Russian Far East examining both urban development and city planning during the pre-Soviet, Soviet, and post-Soviet eras, with an emphasis on built form.
		Unlike Vladivostok, which developed primarily as a naval and military base, the engines of growth in pre-Soviet Tomsk had been its status as a former regional capital with both administration and central place functions; port functions on the River Tom' and its location on the Great Siberian Trakt.
		Today both Tomsk and Vladivostok generally display in their central districts a mixture of old pre-Revolutionary structures interspersed with Soviet period housing blocks and office buildings; these in turn being surrounded by vast expanses of monotonous and often poorly-built residential and industrial developments.
