Abstract
This chapter comprises a summary of the results from the analysis of the symbology of the Soviet military city plan series according to specification documents and the same symbology in the context of a 1% sample of the plans. The latter concludes with an analysis of the relationship between symbology and the characteristics of cities which were previously used to construct, as far as possible, a balanced and representative sample of the series. These two components are addressed in turn and, together, aim to address the first research objective, regarding the implementation of the Soviet city plan symbology across a variety of socio-cultural and physical environments.
