Opis

Providing a global approach to the history of Modernist mass-housing production, this new study combines architectural history with the ‘mass’ politics of power and state-building throughout the 20th century.
  Likening the spread of mass housing to a ‘Hundred Years War’ of successive campaigns and retreats, Miles Glendinning traces the history around the globe from Europe via the USA, Soviet Union and a network of international outposts, to its ultimate, optimistic resurgence in China and the East – where it asks: Are we facing a new dawn for mass housing, or another ‘great housing failure’ in the making?
