Considerable attention was paid to the examples of the development of American cities financed by large insurance companies and central and local housing authorities through a rather complex mortgage and commercial loan system based on state guarantees. The material given is located mainly for individual countries in the following sequence — England, France, Scandinavian countries and the USA. One of the relatively early and relatively large London post -war construction construction projects is the Woodberry Doon residential array, located near the reservoir on a area of 23.3 hectares, which was once church possession. The site is built mainly by 5-storey (76.5% in the number of apartments) with elevators and 8-storey (12.4% in the number of apartments) houses. In the southwestern part of the array there is a small number of blocked cottages.
