Description

Reconstructing Italy examines the transformative Ina-Casa housing plan, a government-sponsored initiative launched in 1949 to tackle Italy's postwar employment and housing crises. This scholarly work analyses how the Ina-Casa neighbourhoods departed from the era's prevailing modernist high-rise housing projects, instead offering picturesque, human-scaled communities that prioritised design quality and social outcomes. Published by Routledge as part of the Ashgate Studies in Architecture series, the book provides critical insight into postwar urban reconstruction, exploring how these neighbourhoods successfully challenged the conventional narrative that government housing programmes inevitably created social dysfunction. The study traces Italy's national transformation through the lens of working-class housing development, revealing how thoughtful architectural planning and community-focused design could deliver lasting positive results during a pivotal period of European rebuilding.
