Description

Explore the postwar transformation of Italy through the lens of urban development. Reconstructing Italy examines the Ina-Casa plan, a major housing initiative established in 1949 to tackle national employment and housing crises. While many government-sponsored housing programs from the postwar era faced criticism for creating social issues, the Ina-Casa neighborhoods offer a different perspective. This study analyzes how these specific neighborhoods differ from the modernist high-rise projects typical of the period. Instead of standard high-rise designs, the Ina-Casa developments are noted for being picturesque in their design and outcome. This book provides a detailed look at how these architectural choices shaped the Italian landscape and the lives of the working class during a period of massive national change.
