ISBN: 9781472575326 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. 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.

A Social History of Milton Keynes: Middle England/Edge City
ISBN: 9780714684178 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Established in 1967, Milton Keynes is England's largest new city and one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the UK. It is also a suburban city, genuinely liked and appreciated by most of its citizens.
For many reasons, however, Milton Keynes is misunderstood, and its valuable recent lessons are mostly ignored in debates about national urban policy. This book discusses the popular and intellectual prejudices that have distorted understandings of the new city. A city is nothing without its people, of course, so Mark Clapson looks at who has moved to Milton Keynes, and discusses their...

Suburban Century: Social Change and Urban Growth in England and the USA
ISBN: 9781859736487 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Bad architecture. Soulless. Destructive of communities. The suburbs are much-maligned places. We see this time and again in films like American Beauty and novels like The Ice Storm. But are they really as homogenous and conservative as we think they are? In this wide-ranging comparative study of England and the United States, Mark Clapson offers new interpretations on suburbia. The majority of people in both countries now live in suburbs, largely as a result of the rising affluence of the postwar period. Millions of Americans pursued an aspiration to settle away from the poorer town... Bad architecture. Soulless. Destructive of communities. The suburbs are much-maligned places.
