Abstract
As initially outlined in the Introduction, the overall aim of this thesis is threefold; firstly, to comprehensively set out the scope of the Soviet military city plan series in detail; secondly, to frame the series within an epistemological context within cartography, and; thirdly, to understand the nature and application of its symbology through an empirical analysis, helping to facilitate future applications of the maps. This final chapter summarises the work that has been carried out to this end and outlines the major findings which have consequently emerged. It then sets out potential directions in which future research may proceed, using these findings as the point of departure.
