"Ulaanbaatarization"
Ulaanbaatarization
In the 1970s during the Socialist era in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolian urban mentality took shape. The originally nomadic Mongolians had to adapt to the urban livelihood and environment, wherein the special kind of urban mentality originated. This change from a nomadic way of life to the urbanized life still influences Mongolian people’s minds.
