"Linear cities are an extreme form of urban dispersal — community development and social cohesion still need centrality," Gold told BI. A linear city may not have this capability," explained Lovgreen. In my opinion, linear city schemes are best left as design exercises for third-year architectural students," Gold said.

Putin still hasn't decided if he'll run for president in 2024, his spokesperson said. Western officials have suggested the Ukraine war has weakened his position, per The Times of London.
