This book examines "new tenements"-dense, medium-rise, multi-storey
residences that have been the backbone of European inner-city
regeneration since the 1970s and came with a new positive view on
urban living. Focusing principally on Berlin, Copenhagen, Glasgow,
Rotterdam, and Vienna, it relates architectural design to an
evolving intellectual framework that mixed anti-modernist criticism
with nostalgic images and strategic goals, and absorbed ideas about
the city as a generator of creativity, locale of democratic debate,
and object of personal identification.This book analyses new
tenements in the context of the post-functionalist city and its
mixed-use neighbourhoods, redeveloped industrial sites and
regenerated waterfronts. It demonstrates that these buildings are
both generators and outcome of an urban environment characterised
by information exchange rather than industrial production,
individual expression rather than mass culture, visible history
rather than comprehensive renewal, and conspicuous difference
rather than egalitarianism. It also shows that new tenements
evolved under a welfare state that all over Europe has come under
pressure, but still to a certain degree balances and controls
heterogeneity and economic disparities.
