those apartments were a big upgrade for people from rural regions.
From urban regions too, old buildings from XIX century and from before WW2 were much worse standards, often without proper plumbing and heating. Also socialist countries were heavily devastated in WW2, so before they build those people often were living in temporal or overcrowded places. Polulations were also growing quite fast. True homelessness was very rare under even wartorn socialist countries though.
These prefab panel apartment buildings
much nicer, organically grown mid-density residential areas of Western Europe
You do know that the prefab technique was invented in the West and a lot of western countries also have a lot of those? YOu don’t get to compare it to “organically grown” (is that ephemism for patodeveloper craze?) burgie houses
My knowledge of prefab homes in the west is limited mostly to wooden single-family suburban homes. What prefab options in the west were available for mass housing?
