Windows Upon Planning History delves into a wide range of
perspectives on urbanism from Europe, Australia and the USA to
investigate the effects of changing perceptions and different ways
of seeing cities and urban regions. Fischer, Altrock and a team of
13 distinguished authors examine how and why the ideologies and the
processes of city making changed in modern and post-modern times.
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.
