Basically, a small, mixed use development neighbourhood used by Soviet urban planners where the goal is that you would have everything or most things you need within walking distance. A microdistinct places apartments, offices, shops, and recreation areas close together, so as to easily be accessible. They almost always also feature excellent public transportation if you need to get somewhere further. It’s still one of the best ways of designing a city where walking, biking, etc is the dominant means of transport, instead of cars.
You can probably include most medium-sized Spanish cities in that list. Everything is densely built and close together. Though unfortunately there are way too many cars.
And that video has a really murican perspective, would be much more interesting to hear about it from a Russian.
