L. Sabsovich (Russian: ?) was an urban planner, most famous for his 'Urbanist' proposals during the 1929-30 period in the Soviet Union (USSR). Sabsovich is considered the leading figure of Urbanist city planning movement in the Soviet Union during this period. Further, Sabsovich's Urbanist Movement in the Soviet Union directly opposed that of the 'Disurbanists' who were lead by Mikhail Okhitovich.

Sabsovich outlined an urbanist vision for the Soviet Union calling for all cities and villages to be replaced by towns containing approximately 25 to 50 residential units over a time period of ten years. These Urban housing units were intended to communally house 1400 to 2000 people each, while providing well developed communal facilities to facilitate the development of communist ideology. The Urbanists envisioned cities as a 'social condenser' that was well equipted to instill people with communitarian attitudes and values that the new communist world required.
