  abstract: Scholars in architectural and urban history have, over the last decade, been trying to come to terms with architecture's 'neoliberal turn' and its various impacts, from municipal policy to the artistic imagination. However, most scholarship has focused on generalizations, with very little work to date focusing on specific cases. Architecture and Retrenchment brings one such case to the fore - investigating the relation between architecture and the Swedish Model of the welfare state. It tracks the response of architecture to the gradual retrenchment and ultimate dismantling of the Swedish welfare state, which was, in its heyday, world-famous for its integration of architecture and the built environment into the welfare system. Ultimately, neoliberal economics prevailed, yet this book reveals how new architectural strategies and techniques were developed in order to protect the agency of architecture in the newly reorganized society of the 1980s and 1990s. Through eight in-depth case-studies, the book situates the often abstract, generalized discourse of neoliberalism and privatization in specific architectural sites, and provides an original interpretation of how architecture, space, aesthetics and politics converged at the end of the twentieth century.
