This book is a comparative analysis of the architecture of central
public spaces of capital cities in Central and Eastern Europe
during the period of their authoritarian and post-authoritarian
development. It demonstrates that national identity transformations
cause structural changes in urban public spaces, and theorises
identity and national identity within urban planning in order to
explain the influence of historical, cultural, mental, social as
well as ideological and political conditions on the processes of
shaping and perceiving the architecture of public space. The book
addresses the process of shaping and restructuring historic centres
of European capital cities of Kiev, Moscow, Berlin, and Warsaw,
which developed under authoritarian regime conditions throughout
the 20th century and were characterised by ideological determinism
and the influence of state ideology and politics on the
architecture of public spaces. The book will be useful for urban
planners, architects, land management specialists, art historians,
political scientists, and readers interested in the theory and
history of cities, the fundamentals of urban planning and
architecture, and the planning of cities and public spaces.
This book includes multi-national research studies (social and
natural science research, as well as more directly practical
university-based knowledge) about cultural heritage, land, and
societal development in varied countries. The book is particularly
about land use (as a fundamental aspect of the environment) and its
role in development (especially sustainable development). Many of
the studies are about topics concerning the transition from more
rural to more urbanized land areas. However, some studies concern
other types of changes. This includes general attention to
globalization and nation-state dimensions of change. Nonetheless,
there are interpretations communicated of unique histories at
differing scales in the researches here. There is often a focus on
more uniquely local and regional territories (including attention
to smaller-scale land use) and an interest in future possibilities
that conserve positive features of past terrain.

Gesellschaftliche Transformationsprozesse manifestieren sich sowohl
in physischen Raumen als auch der sozialen Konstruktion von
Landschaften. Mit dem Wechsel vom sozialistisch-modernen zum
postmodernen Gesellschaftssystem gestalten sich die
Transformationsprozesse in Ostmittel- und Osteuropa besonders
deutlich. Aber auch in Westmitteleuropa lasst sich mit dem
UEbergang von dem fordistischen zum postfordistischen
Akkumulationsregime ein deutlicher Wandel in der Gesellschaft
feststellen. Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Bandes behandeln sowohl
die theoretischen Aspekte des Zusammenhangs von Landschaft als auch
dessen Auswirkungen auf ausgewahlte Regionen in Deutschland und
Polen.
