Forest inside the city
Large wooded areas remain between neighbourhoods and institutes, so the street network appears in separate islands set within green space.

The map
Obninsk sits about a hundred kilometres southwest of Moscow, on the Protva River, and from above it looks like a town carved into a forest. Wide avenues and neat blocks of mid-century housing are arranged in clear rectangles, while large patches of woodland remain inside the city limits, separating districts and research sites.
The layout is typical of a Soviet planned town, with broad main streets, generous green spaces and microdistricts laid out in regular groups. The Protva curves along the edge, its loops and wooded banks providing a contrasting organic line to the planned grid.
Obninsk is where the world's first nuclear power plant for a civilian grid began operating in 1954, and it became Russia's first official science city. An Obninsk map poster records that planned character: order on the inside, forest and river all around.
Large wooded areas remain between neighbourhoods and institutes, so the street network appears in separate islands set within green space.
Broad straight streets and rectangular housing blocks show the town's origins as a planned research settlement from the mid-twentieth century.
The river winds along the town's edge in loose meanders, giving the map a soft natural line against the regular built pattern.
