Urban Transformations : From Liberalism to Corporatism in Greater Berlin, 1871-1933 Hardback
by Parker Daly Everett
Part of the German and European Studies series
Hardback
Description
Urban Transformations is a theoretical and empirical account of the changing nature of urbanization in Germany.
Where city planners and municipal administrations had emphasized free markets, the rule of law, and trade in 1871, by the 1930s they favoured a quite different integrative, corporate, and productivist vision.
Urban Transformations explores the broad-based social transformation connected to these changes and the contemporaneous shifts in the cultural and social history of global capitalism.
Dynamic features of modern capitalist life, such as rapid industrialization, working-class radicalism, dramatic population growth, poor quality housing, and regional administrative incoherence significantly influenced the Greater Berlin region. Examining materials on city planning, municipal administration, architecture, political economy, and jurisprudence, Urban Transformations recasts the history of German and European urbanization, as well as that of modernist architecture and city planning.
