Densification of Urban Landscapes: Post-War Housing Developments Between Preservation and Renewal -9783038630739

描述

Across Europe, post-war 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 post-war developments slated for densification. The analysis also considers aspects of landscape planning, socio-political issues, and the conservation of historic parks.
