"Metropolis Berlin: 1880-1940" reconstitutes the built environment
of Berlin during the period of its classical modernity using over
two hundred contemporary texts, virtually all of which are
published in English translation for the first time. They are from
the pens of those who created Berlin as one of the world's great
cities and those who observed this process: architects, city
planners, sociologists, political theorists, historians, cultural
critics, novelists, essayists, and journalists. Divided into
nineteen sections, each prefaced by an introductory essay, the
account unfolds chronologically, with the particular structural
concerns of the moment addressed in sequence - be they department
stores in 1900, housing in the 1920s, or parade grounds in 1940.
"Metropolis Berlin: 1880-1940" not only details the construction of
Berlin, but explores homes and workplaces, public spaces,
circulation, commerce, and leisure in the German metropolis as seen
through the eyes of all social classes, from the humblest
inhabitants of the city slums, to the great visionaries of the
modern city, and the demented dictator resolved to remodel Berlin
as Germania.
