—cities and towns where land for new construction is either very limited or non-existent, or where an expansion of construction boundaries would involve the occupation of valuable agricultural land;

—territories which require costly engineering-geological work for their preparation and equipping;

—urban district reconstruction involving large-scale demolition of old houses.

The four-storey buildings are reserved especially for hot climates and earthquake-risk regions, while the principal types of dwellings in rural areas are 1-2-storey houses constructed from inexpensive local materials, erected on a conveniently located plot of land, with auxiliary structures.

Flats in residential blocks are designed so as to accommodate families of different size. Flat areas are designed, on the average, to provide 14-15 square metres of floor space per inhabitant. But the standard designs for housing are continuously being improved; fresh projects are drawn up to take advantage of new developments as well as requirements.

In contrast to previous years, the newly-designed flats are notable for their larger areas and greater variety, for some of the rooms, in size and layout.
