Mark Meerovich proposed a model of Soviet history of architecture and town-planning based on the principles of Georgy Petrovich Shchedrovitsky's activity theory. Georgy Petrovich's students used these principles as a baseline for articulation of the issue and handling of the situation. That is why the analysis of the Soviet housing legislation, which defines the character of solutions and the activity on different levels, enabled Mark Meerovich to see architectural and town-planning problems from another point of view. He formulated a holistic concept of Soviet principles of settlement, explained the reason of the failure of the idea of the garden city in the USSR and showed the principles of arrangement of "socialist cities", described the phenomena of "labour and household teams" and communal housing, and demonstrated the Soviet mechanisms of people management. Meerovich introduced for scientific use a lot of unknown materials concerning the activity of prominent Soviet and foreign architects of Stalin's era. ; Марк Меерович предложил модель советской истории архитектуры и градостроительства, выстроенную по принципам теории деятельности Георгия Петровича Щедровицкого. Принцип деятельности для учеников ГП был исходным для постановки проблем и ориентации в ситуации. Именно поэтому анализ советского жилищного законодательства, определяющего характер принимаемых решений и деятельности на разных уровнях, дал ему возможность выстроить целостную концепцию советских принципов расселения, объяснил провал идеи города-сада в СССР, показал принципы организации «соцгородов», описал феномены «трудо-бытовых коллективов» и коммунального жилья, а также показал советские механизмы управления людьми. Меерович ввел в научный оборот огромное количество неизвестных материалов, касающихся деятельности выдающихся советских и иностранных архитекторов сталинской эпохи.
