Abstract
The article examines development patterns, driving forces and consequences of growth of two large post-socialist cities: Ulan-Ude (Republic of Buryatia, Russia) and Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia). Despite the different scales of these cities’ growth between the 1990s and the 2000s, such factors as the decentralisation of urban governance, the housing legacy and explosion of individual construction on the city outskirts and suburban areas impacted on both cities. In addition to these factors, the paper discusses the important role of rural–urban in-migration, the influence of the harsh climatic conditions and regional housing traditions.
