Description

Explore the historical connection between East German urban planning and the reconstruction of northern Vietnam. In Building Socialism, Christina Schwenkel examines how East Germany supported Vietnam's rebuilding efforts following a decade of U.S. bombing campaigns. This book investigates the utopian visions held by Vietnamese and East German planners as they worked to transform the industrial town of Vinh into a model socialist city. Through extensive archival and ethnographic research conducted in both Vietnam and Germany, Schwenkel provides a detailed look at the lives of the people involved in this urban transformation. The study includes perspectives from architects, engineers, construction workers, and the tenants living within Vinh's mass housing complex. This work offers a unique look at the material and social aspects of socialist solidarity through the lens of architecture and urban design.
