The various figures and currents covered here represent a largely overlooked field within the history of 20th century urbanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this period while certain modernist practices assumed an institutional role for post-war reconstruction and flourished into the mainstream, such practices also faced opposition and criticism leading to the production of alternative visions and strategies. Spanning from a historically-informed modernism to the increasing presence of urban conservation the contributors examine these alternative approaches to the city and its architecture. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45236729282711,"sku":"9780415587341","price":15771.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415587341.webp?v=1769214194","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/alternative-visions-of-post-war-reconstruction-creating-the-modern-townscape-9780415587341","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
