Histories of Urban Planning and Political Power: European Perspectives

In this volume, contributions from Europe and Latin America provide insight into the functions of planning under very different political and societal constellations over the last hundred years: dictatorships, parliamentary democracies and illiberalism; capitalism and state socialism; state interventionism and neoliberalism, and more.
