Post-war middle-class housing played a key role in constructing and
transforming the cities of Europe and America, deeply impacting
today's urban landscape. And yet, this stock has been
underrepresented in a literature mostly focused on public housing
and the work of a few master architects. This book is the first
attempt to explore such housing from an international perspective.
It provides a comparative insight into the processes of
construction, occupation and transformation of residential
architecture built for the middle-classes in 12 different countries
between the 1950s and 1970s. It investigates the role of models,
actors and policies that shaped the middle-class city, tracing
geographies, chronologies and forms of development that often cross
national frontiers. This study is particularly relevant today
within the context of "fragilization" which affects the
middle-classes, challenging, as it does, the urban role played by
this residential heritage in the light of technological
obsolescence, trends in patterns of homeownership, as well as
social and generational changes.
