Windows Upon Planning History
Editat de Karl Friedhelm Fischer, Uwe Altrocken Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 aug 2022
Illustrated with over 45 images, the themes addressed in the book range from the changing outlook on Berlin’s historic apartment districts and their demolition, salvation and gentrification to how planning was deployed to support dictatorship; from the shattering of myths like democracies totally departing from preceding dictatorships to the model of the post-war modern city and its fate towards the end of the twentieth century.
The volume combines case studies of cities on three continents with reflections on the historiography and the state of planning history.
With a foreword by Stephen V. Ward, this book will appeal to a wide readership interested in the histories of planning, architecture and cities.
