Description
Summary:Across Europe, postwar residential developments make up the majority of housing stock but are under pressure to develop further. Most are in need of renovation and, due to their urban composition, accompanied by large open spaces that seem to offer easily developable structures. Yet they are also valuable historic heritage. Through extensively documented case studies, this book offers a complete guide for urban planners, historic preservationists, administrators and others in possibilities for these postwar developments slated for densification. The analysis also considers aspects of landscape planning, sociopolitical issues and the conservation of historic parks.
