Garden cities and colonial planning : Transnationality and urban ideas in Africa and Palestine PDF
Edited by Liora Bigon, Yossi Katz
Part of the Studies in Imperialism series
Description
This collection is a study of the process by which European planning concepts and practices were transmitted, diffused and diverted in various colonial territories and situations.
The socio-political, geographical and cultural implications are analysed here through case studies from the global South, namely from French and British colonial territories in Africa as well as from Ottoman and British Mandate Palestine. The book focuses on the transnational aspects of the garden city, taking into account frameworks and documentation that extend beyond national borders, and includes contributions from an international network of specialists.
Their comparative views and geographical focus challenge the conventional, Eurocentric approach to garden cities, and will interest students and scholars of planning history and colonial history.
