Product Description
This work looks at how social reformers, planners and architects in the early 20th century tried to remake the city in the image of a sunlit, ordered utopia. Worpole concentrates less on buildings and more on the planning of the spaces in between - the parks, squares, promenades and pools.
From the Publisher
Critical praise for Here Comes the Sun
'This beautifully produced book makes a host of thought-provoking links between private faces and public places. It will surely make you see familiar and forgotten architectural landmarks in a new light.' – THE ARCHITECTS' JOURNAL
'...a fascinating account of the political idealism that informed urban planning for the first two-thirds of the twentieth-century...full of insights into how public space influences a sense of belonging and ownership.' –THE GUARDIAN
'This is one of those books you stroke lovingly. Open it, and there is page after page of beautiful photographs ...this book combines history, society, politics, environment and place in a well-written and emotive text. The strength of the book is the way it crosses these traditional boundaries and disciplines.' – TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING
'As an authority on both urban and environmental issues, Worpole presents a wealth of information on early 20th century theory, practice and planning...an invaluable guide for assessing our social life in the 21st century urban sprawl.' – LANDSCAPE AND ART
