The article presents an outline of how the Pioneers’ City came into existence, based on archival records and recent research, an analysis of the construction programmes and urban planning, and a review of how the construction was organized, and of the projects and buildings erected after 1951. In conclusion, an overview is given of the renovation of part of the complex, overseen by conservators in 2004.
