I start my thesis with a contextual framework in which I elaborate on the topic of the Ukrainian generation Y and Soviet and post-Soviet urban planning. Thereafter, I conduct two analyses to explain how Comfort Town symbolises a break with the Soviet past, and a move towards a progressive future. The analyses are multidimensional; I use discourse analysis to analyse the presentation of Comfort Town online, but also involve inhabitants' perspectives through a survey and interviews of previous research. The thesis is grounded in theory about space and place, and about nostalgia and progress.Show less
