Here's a couple of quickies links as Im just about to leave for work. I should have some better stuff bookmarked on my PC, but it may not be in English language. I will make a note to check after my shift today!
From my understanding, the raising of the street level methodology was also mostly done in lower elevation and coastal areas. I am most familiar with Riga LV, and this makes perfect sense as the city is built in a bay which is the mouth to the countries river systems. But the Russians were notorious for using copy/pasta building methods. Some were good, say the trains and electrical grids. Some were awful, bloc housing and bridge design for example.
So that being said, a local example for me would be Riga compared to Vilinus. Vilinus is not coastal nor a lower elevation than Riga. Yet the USSR approached rebuilding (and yes elevating certain areas) the exact same way.
Dig adequate trenches where the streets were. Lay sub structure and utilities. Cover it up, then start working on the bombed out buildings themselves. Many got the cookie cutter soviet rebuild design, but obviously salvageable buildings were rebuilt in the same design pre war. This was done for a few reasons, the main one being time one can assume.
