{"product_id":"post-war-middle-class-housing","title":"Post-War Middle-Class Housing","description":"Post-war middle-class housing played a key role in constructing and transforming the cities of Europe and America, deeply impacting today’s urban landscape. And yet, this stock has been underrepresented in a literature mostly focused on public housing and the work of a few master architects. \u003cbr\u003e This book is the first attempt to explore such housing from an international perspective. It provides a comparative insight into the processes of construction, occupation and transformation of residential architecture built for the middle-classes in 12 different countries between the 1950s and 1970s. It investigates the role of models, actors and policies that shaped the middle-class city, tracing geographies, chronologies and forms of development that often cross national frontiers.\u003cbr\u003e This study is particularly relevant today within the context of «fragilization» which affects the middle-classes, challenging, as it does, the urban role played by this residential heritage in the light of technological obsolescence, trends in patterns of homeownership, as well as social and generational changes.","brand":"Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252266258776,"sku":"9783034315944","price":62.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783034315944_f4dfef48-14a4-4e6b-8105-4d00f2d701fe.jpg?v=1764787530","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/post-war-middle-class-housing","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
