Description

Explore the complex relationship between architecture, urbanism, and the forces of colonialism, nationalism, and modernity. This scholarly work examines how newly decolonized nations use the spaces and symbols of their national capitals to represent their modern identities. While some perspectives focus on how architectural modernization aids nation-building projects, this text looks deeper into the specific roles played by individual agents. By studying the actions of planners and architects during the twentieth century, the book provides a detailed look at how the built environment reflects changing political landscapes. This is an essential resource for those studying the history of architecture and the ways in which urban design serves as a tool for both imperial legacies and new national identities.
