transsib as an impetus
Construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway (Transsib) was one of the greatest events in the history of development of the Russian Empire, the USSR and the whole continent. Using the terminology of the NER, we can call the main line a riverbed or a tree trunk, through which flows the feeding sap. With the advent of the Transsib the cities and the whole regions of the empire got an impulse for development and unification. The history of the Transsib tells us how one large-scale project dramatically increased the linearity of the whole vast country. The rapid pace of development of Transbaikalia and its new capital, Chita, with the arrival of the Trans-Siberian Railway at the turn of the century is a vivid example of the stimulating effect of linearity on urban growth. And the history of building of Harbin, the capital of Chinese Eastern Railway, shows how participation of foreign (Russian) architects influences the appearance of the city, an important junction in the system of linear communications between countries.
