Description

Explore the profound connection between government policy and built environments in Architecture and the Welfare State by Routledge. This text examines the decades following World War Two when Western European governments launched ambitious social welfare and wealth redistribution programmes. These initiatives sought to improve daily life through massive construction projects, including new housing, schools, new towns, and cultural or leisure centres. This book tracks how these state-funded programmes required a fresh approach to architectural design. It looks at how welfare objectives were defined and debated within the design process itself. Readers will gain an understanding of how these political shifts changed the landscape of architectural theory and practice. It is a detailed study of how social goals shaped the physical world during a transformative era in history.
