Description

This scholarly work examines the ambitious urban planning initiatives undertaken by the German Democratic Republic during the 1970s and 1980s, exploring how East Berlin's leaders sought to balance modernist principles with historical preservation. Drawing on declassified archival materials and firsthand accounts from government officials, architects, and decision-makers, the book provides an in-depth analysis of this distinctive postmodern design programme and the ideological debates that shaped it within the Socialist government. Readers will gain valuable insights into how Cold War-era East Germany approached urban renewal, architectural philosophy, and the cultural priorities that influenced the built environment during the final decades before reunification. The text bridges architectural history, urban studies, and Cold War history, making it essential for scholars, architects, and anyone interested in European urban development and socialist design movements.

Key Features

Features recently declassified archival sources that illuminate the GDR's urban planning strategies and architectural decision-making processes.

Incorporates direct interviews with former government officials, architects, and key decision-makers involved in East Berlin's redesign programme.

Analyses the postmodern design approach that merged historical preservation with modernist urban development in Cold War East Berlin.

Examines the ideological and political debates within the Socialist government regarding architecture and urban design between 1970 and 1990.

Published by Routledge as part of the Ashgate Studies in Architecture series, providing scholarly credibility and rigorous academic treatment.
