Focusing on the example of Togliatti, a Russian city along the southern reaches of the Volga River, this talk will
address the factors which drive urban development and the lessons learned from the past 15 years of that city’s
history. Reflecting on his experiences as a researcher, evolutionary environmentalist, artist, educator, and public
manager in Togliatti, the speaker will also consider the impact of globalization upon concepts of Russian identity
and the roots of Russian culture.

Vladislav Radkov holds the Edmund S. Muskie Fellowship and is currently pursuing an MPA at SPEA.
