The evolution of city planning theory and practice in the first
half of the twentieth century was captured and driven by a range of
exhibitionary practices in a variety of settings globally, from
international expos to local public halls. The agendas of the
promoters varied, but exhibitions generally drew their social
legitimacy from their status as 'appropriate educative agencies of
citizenship'. Bringing together a range of international case
studies, this volume explores the highly visual genre of public
planning exhibitions worldwide. In doing so, it provides a unique
lens on the development of modern urban planning and design from
the late 19th century to the present day. Focussing mainly on the
first half of the 20th century, it looks in particular at historic
exhibitions which sought to transform urban society's understanding
of the possibilities of planning as a force for social betterment.
The visuality of presentation, contemporary reactions, and outcomes
for the planning profession and the community are explored to make
for a unique, innovative and attractive approach to the history of
planning ideas. The five major themes are the visual representation
of ideas and ideologies; institutions and individuals involved; the
broader context of display; and the impacts and implications for
the development planning culture. With contributors including Karl
Fischer, John Gold, Carola Hein, Peter Larkham, Javier Monclus, and
Mark Tewdwr-Jones, the dominant intellectual paradigm further
unifying the collection is planning history.
