The suburban, detached single-family home is a major legacy of the
Fordist decades of the twentieth century. In 2011, two-thirds of
German households occupied such single-family houses. These
buildings have embodied the political support for a way of life and
type of living arrangement since the 1950s, and continue to
symbolise dreams of home, prosperity, and social status. West
German suburbs today consist mainly of single-family homes built
between the fifties and eighties. However, municipal
administrations and politics at the local level are now faced with
the emptying of single-family housing areas at the edges of
villages and small towns. At the same time, young families in
particular are calling for building plots in the countryside.
Whilst remaining aware of critiques of the single-family home in
urban planning and architecture, this interdisciplinary volume
offers fresh insights into these dwellings - from their place in
everyday life and popular culture, to changing welfare regimes and
demographic change, and to the implementation of ecological
frameworks in the construction industry.
