The postwar British city was been shaped by many international
forces during the last century, but American influences on British
urban research and urban planning have been particularly
significant. Beginning with debates about reconstruction during the
Second World War, Anglo-American Crossroads explores how
Americanisation influenced key approaches to town planning, from
reconstruction after 1945 to the New Urbanism of the 1990s. Clapson
pays particular attention to the relationship between urban
sociological research and planning issues since the 1950s. He also
addresses the ways in which American developers and planners of new
communities looked to the British new towns and garden city
movement for inspiration. Using a wide range of sources, from
American Foundation Archives to town planning materials and urban
sociologies, Anglo-American Crossroads shows that although some
things went wrong in translation from the USA to Britain, there
were also some important successes within a transatlantic dialogue
that was more nuanced than a one-dimensional process of American
hegemony.
