The history of post Second World War reconstruction has recently
become an important field of research around the world; Alternative
Visions of Post-War Reconstruction is a provocative work that
questions the orthodoxies of twentieth century design history.
This book provides a key critical statement on mid-twentieth
century urban design and city planning, focused principally upon
the period between the start of the Second World War to the
mid-sixties. The various figures and currents covered here
represent a largely overlooked field within the history of 20th
century urbanism.
In this period while certain modernist practices assumed an
institutional role for post-war reconstruction and flourished into
the mainstream, such practices also faced opposition and criticism
leading to the production of alternative visions and strategies.
Spanning from a historically-informed modernism to the increasing
presence of urban conservation the contributors examine these
alternative approaches to the city and its architecture.
