Description

Explore the deep connection between political ideology and urban design in postwar France. This book by Vanessa Grossman examines how the French Communist Party (PCF) acted as a major institutional patron during a period of massive urban transformation. Between 1958 and 1981, French cities underwent a large-scale reshaping that tested modernist ideals like never before. By bringing political theory and architectural history together, this work fills a gap in the study of postwar French modernism. It provides a new perspective on how political movements shaped the physical landscape of cities. This is an essential read for students, historians, and anyone interested in the history of architecture and the impact of political institutions on the built environment.
